    HERITAGE TO BOYCOTT VOTE ON OSKANIAN CASE - PARTY MEMBER

    PanARMENIAN.Net - Heritage parliamentary group will back Prosperous
    Armenia member, former foreign minister Vartan Oskanian, party
    member said.

    Ruben Hakobyan expressed the faction's readiness to boycott the vote
    on stripping ex-minister Oskanian of deputy immunity.

    In this context, he urged the political majority to drop the case,
    noting it as a factor undermining both the parliament's and the
    country's image in international arena.

    Mr. Hakobyan further noted charges against Oskanian as a continuation
    of the parliament's tradition to deprive MPs of their congressional
    immunity, citing a number of old cases to prove his point (Vazgen
    Manukyan, Paruyr Hayrikyan, Shavarsh Kocharyan were stripped of
    deputy immunity).

    Armenian parliament holds discussions on Prosecutor General Aghvan
    Hovsepyan's proposal to strip ex-minister Vartan Oskanian of deputy
    immunity over money-laundering charges against Civilitas Foundation.
