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.
