Chinese and Russian companies are recognized as the most corrupt in
the world. Transparency International counted out that Chinese and
Russian businessmen offer bribes abroad most of all.
We can remember that last year several hundred of Russian companies
working abroad signed an agreement on not giving bribes and kickbacks.
Later, the same companies admitted they were not able to fulfill the
demand of the agreement and had to give bribes to get state orders
or licenses.
The Russian business in Armenia, as the leadership of the country
affirms, is prospering. This means, Russia promotes corruption in
Armenia, negating the struggle which is waged on Western grants.
Moreover, China enters the Armenian economy, which last year acquired
the iron deposits, as well as Beijing~Rs participation was expected
in the construction of highways.
Does it mean that China received these objects with the help of
traditional kickbacks? Is this the reason why the Western capital,
which has other working rules, is unable to live in Armenia?
Dwelling on the anti-corruption fight, Armenian law enforcement
bodies point out a couple of cases when a middle-class official was
caught taking the bribe. But there is no case in the history of the
anti-corruption fight, when a state official was caught for kickbacks.
