Lately, at the press conference at the “Hayk” information center, Garnik Isagulyan, President of “National Security” party referred to the arrest case of the representative of “ORO” alliance, “Unity” party President Vartan Oskanian’s son. “At that time, we were in Nagorno-Karabakh. We were sitting at the table: David Shahnazaryan, Vitaly Balasanyan and I… Shahnazaryan said that a statement has been made that Vartan Oskanian’s son has been arrested, and also mentioned that it is very bad. It is necessary to urgently find out what has happened because it could be manipulated,” told Garnik Isagulyan. “I called Bako Sahakyan on the phone, he said to immediately get hold of Yerevan. I contacted the necessary person, and it turned out that Serzh Sargsyan is not aware of it and just learned from me,” continued Garnik Isagulyan. He mentioned that he is in good relationship with Oskanian but manipulating the situation is not correct, “Rumors are spread out that an instruction was issued to exert pressure on the opposition alliance by arresting his son. But I repeat, the President learned it from me.” According to Isagulyan, releasing Oskanian’s son on recognizance does not mean that “they were afraid of someone.” “Do not commit a crime no matter whose son you are,” called on the speaker.
Note, the son of Vartan Oskanian was arrested on February 17 on suspicion of illegal deprivation of freedom using dangerous violence or threat of using violence.
