Armenia ranks 105 in terms of Corruption Perception Index 2012
with a score - 34, Executive Director of Transparency International
Anti-Corruption Center Varuzhan Oktanyan told media on December 5
in Yerevan.
The 2012 corruption perception index measures the perceived levels
of public sector corruption in 176 countries and territories around
the world
The Corruption Perceptions Index scores countries on a scale from 0
(highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean). While no country has a perfect
score, two-thirds of countries score below 50, indicating a serious
corruption problem.
Oktanyan said that in the post-Soviet area the positive result was
in Estonia, where corruption perception score is 64 and the country
ranks the 32nd. The lowest level is in Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan -
17 score and 170 rank.
The best results in the South Caucasus were in Georgia - 52 score -
51st-52nd ranks. Turkey's score is 49, rank 54-57. Turkey's result
has been retained for many years. Azerbaijan and Iran have the worst
results - scores 27 -28, ranks 139-143 and 133-137 respectively.
The best results are in Denmak, Finland and New Zealand where the
corruption perception index is 90 (score). Afghanistan, North Korea
and Somali are in the bottom with a score of 8.
