  • Armenians Most Distrustful of their Legal System in FSU space

    ARMENIAN SOCIETY IS ONE OF SOCIETIES IN POST-SOVIET TERRITORY, WHICH
    TREATS MOST DISTRUSTFULLY TOWARDS COUNTRY's LEGAL SYSTEM

    YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 3. ARMINFO. Armenian society is one of societies in
    the post-soviet territory, which treats most distrustfully towards
    country's legal system. As Washington profile informs, the
    International Foundation on Election Systems (IFES) has provided
    numerous questionings in various former Soviet republics within a few
    last years. Answering the question if they believe that country's
    legal system protect them against illegal actions of governmental and
    private persons, 67% of Armenian people, 61% - of Azerbaijani, 84% -
    of Kirghizia, 62% - of Ukraine responded negatively. 23% of Armenian,
    33% of Azeris, 49% of Kirghizes, 17% of Russians and 30% of Uzbeks
    faced with bribery. About 65% of Estonian citizens trust in country's
    legal system.

    According to the source, a considerable part of legal reforms, carried
    out in the former USSR, was financed by international and foreign
    organizations. They allotted tens of millions of dollars as grants
    and credits to the post-soviet countries. The World Bank, an
    anti-corruption organization Transparency International, the
    Association of American Lawyers, the USAID and the IFES implemented
    the most large-scale programs. According to published data, the
    insufficient legislative and legal base, peoples' distrust towards
    both the judicial authority and the state, corruptibility and
    dependency of judges, poverty of people and high state tariffs on
    juridical services, inadequate professional training of judges and
    their low wages are the main problems of the legal sector which the
    post-soviet republics face with.

    The biggest loans on legal reforms were allotted to Russia - 58 mln
    USD. Armenia was allotted 11.4 mln USD, Georgia - 13.4 mln USD,
    Kazakhstan - 16.5 mln USD, Kirghizia - 350.000 USD, and Latvia -
    280.000 USD.
