IN ARMENIA IS THAT BRIBER IS NOT SUBJECT TO OBSTRUCTION
The reason of an all-round spread of corruption in Armenia is that
the briber is not subject to public obstruction, RA Parliament vice
speaker, the member of ARF Dashnaktsutiun, Vahan Hovannesyan, said at
today's press-conference in the "Urbat" discussion club.
According to him, as for the ARF Dashnaktsutiun party, which had
claimed in 1998 of its support of Robert Kocharyan provided that he
will efficiently fight with corruption, "we were optimists then, now
we have become realists. Robert Kocharyan as well. It became clear
that the problem cannot be resolved by public calling the briber
names, another ways are necessary", V. Hovannesyan said.
He is sure that after the Parliamentary elections in 2007, the
present alignment of intra-Parliament forces will hardly sufficiently
change and ARFD will gather the necessary percents of votes to pas to
the Parliament. The party does not rule out the possibility of
pre-election and post-election cooperation with any political force,
