    YEREVAN. - The Prosperous Armenia Party's (PAP) National Assembly
    (NA) Faction demands the resignation of Prosecutor General Aghvan
    Hovsepyan, PAP MP Stepan Margaryan stated at the NA.

    To note, the NA on Tuesday continues its special hearing on Hovsepyan's
    formal petition to include The Civilitas Foundation founder, former
    FM, and currently PAP MP Vartan Oskanian as a defendant in a criminal
    lawsuit.

    In Margaryan's words, if the aforementioned petition is not aimed
    against PAP, the Parliament needs to refuse voting on this matter. The
    MP noted that this petition is an attempt to deal a political blow
    to PAP. "And if the petition is not aimed against us, the parliament
    must reject it," Stepan Margaryan stated.

    As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, on May 25 the National
    Security Service (NSS) Department of Investigation filed a criminal
    lawsuit on charges of money laundering with respect to The Civilitas
    Foundation.

    The NSS Press Center had informed that an investigation is underway
    in connection with selling the 100-percent shares of the Huntsman
    Building Products Company for around $2 million, but not informing
    Armenia's tax authorities about this business deal; not using for
    charitable purposes $1,135,000 of that amount envisioned for charity;
    transferring this amount to the bank accounts opened under the names
    of the Civilitas Foundation's founder Vartan Oskanian, and of the
    Foundation's Board of Trustees member Tigran Karapetyan; and using
    some of this amount for private purposes.

    In addition, as per the NSS Press Center, The Civilitas Foundation
    had not presented a report on the $2 million allocated for charitable
    purposes.
