    The leader of the Prosperous Armenia party (PAP), Gagik Tsarukyan, has
    met ex-Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanyan to discuss the National
    Security Service's money laundering charges against his foundation,
    Civilitas.

    According to a statement by Tsarukyan's press office, the PAP leader
    expressed willingness to do everything possible to protect the rights
    and interests of his colleagues inside the party.

    Oskanyan resigned from Civilitas Foundation's board earlier this year
    to join the Prosperous Armenia party which was then represented in the
    coalition government. Following the May 6 parliamentary election, he
    was elected to the National Assembly.

    `The PAP leader highly appreciates the Civilitas Foundation's role in
    promoting democratic values and diversity of opinions,' reads the
    statement.

    Tsarukyan has promised, upon necessity, to invite internationally
    acclaimed lawyers to Armenia to assist Oskanyan.
