Armenia and Azerbaijan turn out to be the only countries in the South
Caucasus region not included in Transparency International's 2013
Corruption in Defense report.
The index, published Tuesday, covers 82 countries which have been
classified into different groups (A, B, C, D (D+,D-)) depending on
the level of the legislative's control over the military.
The authors of the document have found that the parliaments of most
countries do not manage to exercise a successful control over the
defense sector.
The findings suggest that 2/3 of the countries have failed to
ensure effective control mechanisms. The legislation in 70% of
weapon suppliers has been found to allow for loopholes contributing
to corruption.
Armenia's northern neighbor, Georgia, is in Group D, together with
Russia and Turkey. Iran is in the highest group (E).
The lowest corruption risks have been observed in Germany and
Australia.
