    YEREVAN, OCTOBER 31, NOYAN TAPAN. The subject of the regular, October
    31 discussion held within the framework of the program under the title
    Formation and Establishment of Political Culture in Armenia held by the
    National Press Club jointly with the U.S. National Democratic Institute
    was Corruption in Armenia and Ways of Overcoming It. As Gagik Melikian,
    a member of the NA RPA faction, said, corruption was born with the
    mankind and will be liquidated with the mankind. According to him,
    one can fight to reduce its volumes but not to liquidate it. In
    G. Melikian's opinion, both the current and former authorities have
    been implementing various events to reduce corruption in Armenia. In
    particular, a group on fighting corruption, a monitoring group have
    been formed, rather large amendments have been made in the legislative
    sphere. However, the results are not satisfactory yet.

    Vachagan Khachatrian, a representative of the Armenian National
    Congress, said that no step is undertaken in that direction in Armenia
    and no positive shift is noticed. According to him, the evidence of
    it is the results of the studies conducted by independent experts,
    according to which Armenia is numbered among countries having
    a high degree of corruption. In V. Khachatrian's opinion, proper
    conditions need to be created to liquidate corruption in the country,
    in particular, democracy need to be established.

    According to his estimation, the most corrupted system in Armenia is
    the political one, especially in the preelection period.
