Affairs and MPs also participated in the seminar.
Loretta Grazziano Bruning noted that the corruption is a universal
thing in developing countries and penetrates to all the spheres of
life. The reasons can be disputable, but the consequences are clear
to everyone, i.e. not proper mode of action of state institutions,
collapse of infrastructures, which results in the immediate cause
of not respectful attitude towards the norms of civic rights and
legislation in the sphere of law obedient citizens. The consequences
also mustn't be ignored in the state departments. In private sphere
corruption causes reduction of productivity and prosperity, which has
a negative influence in the aspect of local and foreign investments.

institutions as WB, the "Transparency International" organization
and the International center of private business show that serious
economic losses are recorded in the result of bribery and corruption.
According to Mher Shahgeldyan, Chairman of the NA Standing Committee
on Defence, National Security and Internal Affairs, due to the data
of international organizations, the condition of corruption in our
country is better than in Georgia and Azerbaijan, but we're not
satisfied with it because there's a problem set forth to reduce the
corruption level in Armenia. There's a strategy, fighting in Armenia
today, but there's yet corruption in various spheres. The MP considered
important the study of the experience of different countries.
In response to the question how should be the role of the Parliament
in corruption fighting, Mrs. Bruning answered that laws should be
adopted and the juridical legal freedom should be provided.
The MP Mher Shahgeldyan talked on sending e-mail of the documents,
which will give an opportunity to reduce the corruption risk
possibility.
