The RPA (Republican Party of Armenia) Vice-President, Minister of Education and Science Minister Armen Ashotyan had an interview with 168 Daily. .
Reminded own words concerning the stripping from immunity of PAP MP Oskanian by the RA Prosecutor General ( Ashotyan had stated that the Prosecutor was speaking in the legal language, and the opponents- in the political, and it is neither accidental nor surprising that they did not understand each other) minister of education noted:
“If we try to move to the political arena, it is obvious that Vardan Oskanian’s attorneys understand that they lose in the legal field. That is, the deliberate transfer of the question to the legal field means that initially find the legal field lost. And the explanation that the court is not independent, and this case is political, just causes a smile, because in all cases, even if Oskanian’s view matched the reality, the legal charges against him would stress the political nature of the case.”
Armen Ahotyan set parallels between the case of Oskanian and Hayrapetyan and said,
“R. Hayrapetyan was subjected to political persecution, when he had absolutely no legal responsibility for the tragedy. Yes, the moral weight is a burden, and we saw that under that burden Ruben Hayrapetyan voluntarily resigned the mandates. Ruben Hayrapetyan’s case was typical of political persecution by the RPA and his political opponents. So-called political initiatives having also their civil and political group, joined the Republican Party and the political opponents and implemented personal political persecution, a real political persecution. And this is a political persecution, not the case of Oskanian.”
