ANTI-CORRUPTION STRUGGLE IN ARMENIA DOES NOT GIVE DESIRABLE RESULT
YET, CE AND OSCE REPRESENTATIVES IN RA RESPOND
YEREVAN, JANUARY 31, NOYAN TAPAN. The most corrupted sphere in Armenia
is health care which is followed by the educational, electoral,
defence systems, the duty, tax services, the state motor vehicle
inspectorate, police, social security and, finally,
agriculture. Representatives of the Regional Development
Center/Transparency International-Armenia (RDC/TI) public organization
stated about it at the January 31 presentation of the publication
entitled "Understanding of Corruption in Armenia," based on results of
own social surveys.
According to the mentioned results, 9 from 10 citizens of Armenia
consider that the corruption is a problem or a great problem in the
country. At the same time, 9 from 10 surveyed people pointed out the
necessity of securing free and just elections as a solution aimed to
improvement of the situation.
Bojana Urumova, the Council of Europe Representative to Armenia
mentioned that the legislative field, political will and public
education are necessary conditions for efficiency of the
anti-corruption struggle in any country. In her words, "stagnation,
sometimes retreat as well is noticed" in the anti-corruption struggle
in Armenia, but it does not mean in any case that this struggle is an
unnecessary and useless affair." In B.Urumova's opinion, the RA
authorities must themselves take the whole responsibility for the
anti-corruption struggle.
In the words of Vladimir Pryakhin, the OSCE Armenian Office head,
though the Armenian authorities strive for uprooting corruption from
the public life, however, "that evil is still causing anxiety."
