On 1 October session the RA Prosecutor General’s mediation discussion was held up because the session came to an end. The discussion will continue tomorrow. A number of legislators managed to introduce their positions. In particular, ‘Prosperous Armenia’ fraction secretary Naira Zohrabyan again insisted that Prosecutor General’s meditation had not legal grounds and was completely directed against V. Oskanyan and the party.

According to the deputy, the amount given for charity purposes is ‘in place’ and has not disappeared anywhere. N. Zohrabyan said that she together with PAP fraction member Vahe Hovhannisyan is going to participate in plenary session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg tomorrow. They will speak about the Oskanyan issue in that European structure as well. She also urged all MPs not to participate in the voting noting that PAP deputies are not going to participate tomorrow.

ARF fraction members also assured that mediation did not have legal grounds and it is just a political persecution. Therefore they will not ‘betray' their colleague and will not participate in voting.

ARP fraction leader Galust Sahakyan noted in his speech that it is not pleasant for either of them, but they are not a court and they considered appropriate to allow Oskanyan to prove his innocence. 'We have to believe in both Oskanyan's and Prosecutor's mediations' said G. Sahakyan.

ARF fraction leader Vahan Hovhannisyan countered to ARP fraction leader, stating that a person is not obliged to defend his innocence; the accuser must prove his guilt, which is a constitutional requirement.
