Ex-envoy dubs Oskanian case political blunder

Former foreign minister Vartan Oskanian’s case is a terrible political blunder that may negatively affect Armenia’s foreign policy, former RA envoy to Lebanon said.

“We, Armenians are brilliant masters. Perhaps it’s an ethno-genetic feature to create problems and offer heroic solutions to them,” Arman Navasardyan told a press conference.

“Most diplomats consider themselves elite family members. All of them know each other, and I can’t name a profession with a stronger esprit de corps,” the former envoy said, adding that even in “cold war” era diplomats of the rival camps maintained friendly relations

He further noted that Oskanian’s case was politically motivated.
