    LITHUANIAN REPS DELIVERING LECTURES TO ARMENIAN LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS ON FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION

    Representatives of the Lithuanian Prosecutor General's Office and
    Special Investigation Service are delivering lectures to Armenian
    law enforcement officers on ways to combat corruption.

    Algimantas Kliunka, the chief prosecutor of the Organized Crime and
    Corruption Investigation Department of the Prosecutor General's Office,
    Juozas Sakela and Ceslovas Bakasenas of the Special Investigation
    Service are currently in Yerevan.

    The Lithuanian officers intend to share Lithuania's experience
    in investigating corruption cases as well as in preparation and
    implementation of national anti-corruption public education measures.

    Armenia, just like other Eastern region countries, is strengthening
    anti-corruption efforts.

    Lithuanian officers have earlier delivered such lectures to Azerbaijani
    law enforcement officers.

    According to a survey by Transparency International, the Corruption
    Perception Index (CPI) of Lithuania in 2006 stands at 4.8, which
    shows that Lithuania has problems with changing its image of a
    corrupt country.

    However, Caucasus countries have even more problems in this area.

    Armenia's CPI score is 2.9, Georgia's - 2.8, Azerbaijan's - 2.4.

    On the ten-point scale, 0 means absolute corruption, while 10 indicates
    minimal corruption.
