Armenia
The office of former Armenian Foreign Minister and currently MP Vardan
Oskanyan has issued a statement, which said that the investigation on
charges of money laundering in the Civilitas foundation established
by Oskanyan, was a pretext for political harassment.
The criminal case launched on allegations of money laundering served
as a pretext for full-scale harassment directed against the Civilitas
foundation and Vardan Oskanyan.
It also said that Vardan Oskanyan was invited by the National
Security Service to tell him that a probe had been launched on a
project implemented in 2009 and a former employee of the foundation
currently residing in the USA was invited for questioning.
In other words, after accusing Vardan Oskanyan for a money laundering
case, investigators are trying to move on to the mainstream of the
foundation's activities, increasing pressure on current as well as
former employees.
