YEREVAN. – Time will show as to whether Armenia’s former FM Vartan Oskanian’s return to politics and his membership in the ruling coalition’s Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) are conditioned on the factor of Armenia’s Second President, Robert Kocharyan, the coalition’s Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) MP Artak Davtyan stated during a press conference on Thursday. He added that the election period will give the answer to this question.        

Davtyan also recalled that Vartan Oskanian was FM for ten years during Robert Kocharyan’s tenure as President, and he noted that RPA is not worried about an outflow from RPA toward PAP, since Oskanian has returned to politics and become a PAP member.  

To note, Vartan Oskanian formally became a PAP member on Thursday.
