    American Embassy urges Armenian officials to investigate corruption
    allegations


    Today US Embassy in Armenia makes an announcement: `There has been a
    great deal of media commentary in recent days about an alleged tape
    that the U.S. Ambassador is said to have conveyed to President
    Kocharian implicating a government minister for corruption. We are
    unaware of the existence of any such tape, and have not conveyed any
    tape to the President. We have a continuing dialogue with Armenian
    government officials at many levels on the well-known problem of
    official corruption. When we become aware of credible allegations of
    corruption, we of course convey this information to appropriate
    Armenian officials at a high level. We strongly urge Armenian
    officials to investigate and prosecute corruption allegations, and
    especially those involving government ministers or other senior
    officials. Armenia cannot develop into a fully successful democratic
    and economically sound state without assurance of integrity at all
    levels of government'.
