    VARTAN OSKANIAN WILL BE HERO

    Story from Lragir.am News:

    Recently the columnist of the Washington Post David Ignatius wrote on
    the case of the ex-foreign minister Vartan Oskanian, noting that the
    decision to prosecute Oskanian is related to the refusal of Prosperous
    Armenia to support the coalition headed by Serzh Sargsyan.

    The Armenian French political scientist Gaidz Minassian expressed his
    concerns over the related developments in an interview with Lragir.am.

    According to him, treating Vartan Oskanian this way is harmful for
    Armenia because Armenia is a perceived stable country compared with
    its neighbors. He says if necessary a group to support Vartan Oskanian
    will be set up.

    He says Vartan Oskanian is known and respected all over the world, and
    if the authorities want to prevent him from running in the presidential
    election and bring together the opposition, the actions against Vartan
    are clearly politically motivated, which is dangerous because Georgia,
    Azerbaijan and Armenia are on the same level and treat human rights
    issues similarly.

    Gaidz Minassian says Oskanian was the first to resign after March 1,
    before the resignation of the rest of the government. Besides, Vartan
    Oskanian tried to mediate the dialogue between the government and the
    opposition. "Vartan Oskanian is a man of peace, he does not believe
    in internal tensions, conflicts, and if Vartan Oskanian wanted to
    remain in government, we could remain but he resigned because as a
    diplomat and a political personality he could not continue his work
    amid such an atmosphere," said Gaidz Minassian, adding that if there
    is a person who is not responsible for March 1 is Oskanian, and the
    only thing he could do was to resign.
