The Yerevan court of Center and Nork-Marash has overruled the request of former Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan’s lawyer demanding the decision of Michael Ambartsumyan, deputy head of the investigative directorate of the Armenian National Security Council, on initiation of the criminal case on May 25, 2012.
Lawyer Tigran Atanesyan’s request was considered by judge Mnatsakan Martirosyan on July 23.
The National Security Council initiated a case against the Sivilitas Fund founded by Vardan Oskanyan for legalization of criminal income. Oskanyan is a witness in the case.
The Committee for State Income of the Armenian government visited the fund in June. They demanded documents on all its financial operations since its foundation in May 2008.
