    CORRUPTION RAMPANT IN ARMENIA, ANC REP SAYS

    Corruption is spreading throughout Armenia, Aram Sargsyan, a member
    of the opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC), stated at the
    ANC rally in Yerevan on October 15. According to him, one of the
    presidential candidates had nothing at all except for a private house
    and a car in 2003. However, when he left in 2008 he was "wealthier
    that the whole of Armenia."

    "There is not a more glaring example of corruption. Are the incumbent
    authorities able - or do they want at all - to struggle against
    corruption?" Aram Sargsyan asked. He is sure that early elections
    are the only way out of the situation.

    The ANC member addressed the latest developments in the
    Nagorno-Karabakh peace process. "In his latest speech President Serzh
    Sargsyan said that the sooner Nagorno-Karabakh becomes a negotiator
    the sooner the problem is resolved. But where was Serzh Sargsyan when
    Robert Kocharyan actually ousted Nagorno-Karabakh from the negotiation
    process?" asked Aram Sargsyan.

    In his turn, Levon Zurabyan, ANC office Coordinator, commented on
    the arrest of an Armenian criminal group in the United States.

    "The crime boss Armen Kazaryan nicknamed Pzo has close contacts with
    President Serzh Sargsyan and Robert Kocharyan," the ANC member said.

    During the 2008 presidential elections "Pzo" came to Armenia and
    coordinated criminal actions against Levon Ter-Petrosyan, Zurabyan
    claims. "The global scandals will have a serious impact on further
    processes in Armenia. The international community confirmed that the
    ANC is struggling against a mafia structure which is actually helping
    international mafia," the ANC member said.

    Zurabyan also stated that the Armenian authorities are concerned
    over arrests in the U.S., as well as over a list of criminals among
    Armenian Government members, which was recently released in Russia.

    "According to the information at our disposal, Serzh Sargsyan called
    Vladimir Putin in this connection. Revealing the criminal essence of
    the regime for the international community is serious progress for
    our struggle," Zurabyan said.
