"A state institute established to combat corruption first of all
must protect the rights of citizens on legal basis and must not
develop into a new window to bolster corruption," Vahram Nersisiants,
economic adviser of the Armenian president, told reporters today
while presenting the results of an annual meeting of International
Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank (WB) in Singapore.
In his words, the gathering paid special attention to corruption
and its effective administration. The participants underscored the
creation of a database.
Such information should contain specific cases instead of general
impressions, World Bank officials think.
Nersisyants said IMP and WB will draft a paper based on the
considerations of the gathering.
According to a recent WB report, the situation with corruption
deteriorated in Armenia in 2005. The source says that tax
administration has become more corrupt.
Thus, more companies pay bribes while registering or paying
taxes. Corruption is reported as the major impediment in Armenia for
the development of small and mid size businesses.
