Today, the Center for Freedom of Information presented the results of
"Freedom of Information in Armenia 2011" monitoring.
It was found out that the issues in this sphere are numerous and
various. The first, according to the Head of the Center Liana Doydoyan,
is the lack of culture of transparent activities of officials.
250 requests have been sent to 50 structures within the framework of
the monitoring, only the 56% provided full answers. 8 rejected the
requests. The unanswered questions amount to 30%.
According to lawyer Gevorg Hayrapetyan, the National Assembly answered
the questions with 1 month of delay. The State Revenue Committee has
not responded to the written request, saying that the government of
Armenia does not define the order of registration, classification
and preservation of information.
>From the state structures, the best answers were provided by the
Ministry of Education and Science, and the worst results from National
Assembly and Police.
The authors of the monitoring advise the officials to educate their
subordinates not to render the provision of information a problem in
Armenia. They also propose to release the results of their activities
on their own and to work transparently.
