Zhoghovurd: Oskanian’s persecution started in 2009

The Civilitas Foundation released a statement on Friday saying that Vartan Oskanian’s political persecution started as early as in 2009.

“Oskanian was elected board member of one of Armenian trade banks. Under the threat of bankruptcy bank’s shareholders were forced to stop Oskanian’s membership in the board,” Zhoghovurd writes.

“Our sources say it was Ameriabank. Bank’s spokesperson Elmira Adamyan, however, refuted this information,” the paper says.
