On July 12, U.S. Ambassador to Armenia John A. Heffern and Armenia's
Deputy Prime Minister Armen Gevorgian officially launched a joint
anti-corruption awareness project at Zvartnots International Airport.
The $77,000 project, funded by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of
International Security and Nonproliferation, falls within the framework
of the "Joint Action Plan Between the Government of the United States
of America and the Government of the Republic of Armenia on Combating
Smuggling of Nuclear and Radioactive Materials" that Foreign Minister
Edward Nalbandian and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice signed
in 2008.
The project is designed to raise the anti-corruption awareness
of Armenian and foreign citizens entering or exiting Armenia by
explaining the procedures to be followed at border check points and
customs houses. For this purpose, booklets, informational signs and
posters, and public service announcements on television and radio were
produced, with written materials being translated into English and
Russian. The materials include up-to-date information on the rights
of citizens accessing Armenia's borders and Customs points, as well
as warnings against the unlawfulness of bribes by citizens and state
officials. The materials contain a list of telephone hotlines that
citizens can call to report problems encountered while accessing
Armenia's borders or Customs houses.
The anti-corruption materials will be distributed and erected at all
of Armenia's border crossing points, including Zvartnots and Shirak
International Airports, the ports of entry in Bagratashen, Gogavan,
Bavra, and Meghri, and the Customs houses in these locations, as well
as the Customs house located at the rail port of Ayrum.
