The president of the Forum of Armenian Associations of Europe (FAAE) believes the criminal case against ex-Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian to be politicized.

At news conference in Yerevan, Ashot Grigorian expressed confusion over money laundering charges against Oskanian.

“Money laundering is a valid term only in case there’s “dirty money” earned in drug or weapon sale. It’s strange that no one would be complaining about the fund misuse except Armenia’s lawmen,” Grigorian said.
