Armenian government MP Gagik Minasyan has rejected the possibility
of Armenia using Ukrainian or Georgian methods of combating corruption.
Instead, Minasyan believes that it is necessary to establish a civil
society which will fight corruption and stop giving or taking bribes.
He acknowledged, though, that corruption in Armenia has a systemic
character, and is very difficult to combat.
Opposition MPs from DashnakThsuthun party countered that corruption
will be defeated only with a change in the ruling power.
According to Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions
Index 2011, Armenia ranks 129th out of 182 countries, alongside the
Dominican Republic, Honduras, the Philippines, and Syria, classifying
it as very corrupt.
