European commissioner from Romania. To remind, the country’s prime
minister previously appointed the chairman of Romania’s Armenian
community, head of Romanian Parliament’s Financial Committee, Varuzhan
Voskanian. Yet, Voskanian was compelled to withdraw his candidacy
after a few episodes of his biography surfaced.
According to European media, Voskanian is suspected to be an
intelligencer of Romania’s Sekuritate special service. Reportedly,
he ran a small right-wing party was financed by a Romanian
businessman. Varuzhan Voskanian denies the accusation. President of
the European Commission Jose Manuel Barosso backs the candidacy of
