KOSTANYAN FIGHTING CORRUPTION, BUT HE WON'T SUE PROSECUTORS
06.25.2014 17:01 epress.am
RA General Prosecutor Gevorg Kostanyan considers the fight against
corruption a major achievement made in the first 9 months of his term
in office. Ahead of Prosecutor's Office Day marked on July 1, he met
with journalists and presented a report on the work he and his staff
have done. According to the general prosecutor, "unwavering integrity"
was a priority for him.
Kostanyan first claimed that in the fight against corruption and
change of personnel in the prosecutor's office, 80 prosecutors were
dismissed, then said there were good employees among them who were
left out of the system for various social reasons.
Reporters asked him to explain for what instances of corruption
prosecutors were dismissed; however, Kostanyan provided neither
specific incidents nor the names of prosecutors involved in
corruption. He added that if manifestations of corruption reached
"such heights," then they would not be satisfied by dismissing
prosecutors but would "take them to court".
The prosecutor general said that the relentless fight against
corruption is not easy, since bribery is profitable to all parties,
including the accused, the suspect, the victim, the bribe-taking police
officer, the investigator, the prosecutor, and all their relatives.
