He then studied Commerce at the Bucharest Academy of Economic Studies (graduated 1982) and Mathematics at the University of Bucharest (graduated 1991), gaining a Ph.D. in economics in 1998. In 1990, he became president of the Armenians' Union of Romania and he was twice (1990-1992 and 1992-1996) elected a member of the Chamber of Deputies, and twice a Senator (1996-2000 and 2004-2008), on the lists of the National Liberal Party. Between 1996 and 2003, he was the leader of Uniunea Forţelor de Dreapta, a small right wing liberal party, which was eventually merged into the National Liberal Party. Vosganian has written several books, especially on economics and politics, but also fiction and poetry. He is a member of the Romanian Writers' Union, and since 2005, he has served as its vice president. Vosganian is also a leading member of the Romanian Humorists' Association. In October 2006, he was nominated to be a member of the European Commission after Romania joined the EU on 1 January 2007. After his nomination, some Romanian newspapers claimed that he was a Securitate informer,〔"(Vosganian a fost informator al Securităţii )" ("Vosganian Was a Securitate Informer"), ''Jurnalul Naţional'', 27 October 2006.〕 but the charges were disproved within days and the ''National Council for Studying the Securitate's Archives'' (CNSAS) announced that he did not collaborate with the Securitate. Vosganian intends to sue the newspaper. Moreover, leading EU Socialists claimed he had no "European profile" and was "on the payroll of big economic tycoons".〔EUobserver.com ("Romanian nominee for EU commission job sparks questions" )〕 As a consequence, Vosganian decided to retract his candidature on 28 October.〔(Romanian nominee withdraws candidacy for EU Commission ), ''International Herald Tribune'', 28 October 2006〕 In December 2006, he was named Minister of Economy and commerce.〔("Varujan Vosganian, validat ministru cu o majoritate zdrobitoare" ), ''Adevărul'', 13 December 2006〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Varujan Vosganian」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
