Armenian former Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian’s involvement in the Prosperous Armenia party hit hard the presidential administration, Chorord Ishkhanutyun paper reports.

In particular, the criticism he voiced against the Republican Party of Armenia speaking on Yerkir Media TV channel, and the courtesy addressed to the Armenian National Congress made the ruling elite particularly mad.

Presidential administration tends to blame Prosperous Armenia spokesman Khachik Galstyan for it; Galstyan, believed to be Serzh Sargsyan’s “insider” within the Prosperous Armenia, was supposed to prevent Vartan Oskanian from joining the party.
