    YEREVAN. - Armenian Premier Tigran Sargsyan chaired session of the
    council on the fight against corruption, the Government press service
    informs. The participants exchanged views on this matter, and made
    proposals toward eliminating the current shortcomings and problems.

    `We ourselves must expose the existing corruption. If the authorities
    do not expose it, the society loses confidence in the authorities.
    Subsequently, there must be observable punishment,' the Premier said,
    and underscored the civil society's engagement in the decision-making
    and implementation oversight.

    The PM extended his thanks to representatives from the NGOs and
    political forces for their attendance to the session, and expressed a
    hope that they will submit their proposals, in written form, which
    will become topics of discussion.

    `We are unsatisfied by the situation created in the fight against
    corruption. The President requires decisive steps from us [in this
    respect], which can be taken solely by joint efforts. We cannot
    succeed in combating corruption unless we cooperate,' Tigran Sargsyan
    noted.

    In the Armenian PM's words, assistance by international donor
    organizations likewise will be of great importance in terms of
    increasing the potential of the ongoing reforms.
