"HUMAN RIGHTS AND DEMOCRACY" PARTY ESTABLISHES PUBLIC-POLITICAL
COUNCIL ON STRUGGLE AGAINST POLITICAL CORRUPTION
YEREVAN, January 20 (Noyan Tapan). The "Human Rights and Democracy"
party is declaring about its initiative to establish a public-political
council on struggle against political corruption in Armenia and calls
on all the political organizations and NGOs anxious about this problem
to participate in formation of the council. In the January 19
statement the party grounds its initiative by the fact that "struggle
against corruption is of formal character in Armenia." "It is limited
by the document called "Anti-corruption Strategy and Program of Events
of Its Implementation," which wasn't discussed with participation of
subjects of civil society as a result of the unsuccessive activity of
the Armenian Office of World Bank and, perhaps, because it has nothing
in common with the corruption processes existing in the country."
Moreover, according to the organization, the council established by RA
President for the purpose of "allegedly, complete and efficient
implementation of the program" has jested its activity away
contributing to further development of corruption in the republic, in
particular, it registered no results during a year since its
establishment, distorted the notion of "corruption" turning the abuse
of governing authorities into displays of bribe, including the
non-state sector, abstained from monitoring of corruption in the
"upper links" envisaged by the very program and the Commission on
Monitoring even hasn't established a working group in connection with
political corruption." It's obvious, the party declares, that "the
subjects of the country's civil society are to head the struggle
against corruption and first of all against its cornerstone, political
corruption, in the republic."
