GENERAL PROSECUTOR TO FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION
On March 30, 2004, Armenian General Prosecutor Aghvan Hovsepyan signed a
decree on establishing a Department for Struggle against Corruption. The
Department will have a head and 4 prosecutors.
“Tax and customs systems will be checked to disclose corruption crimes.
There is a political will to prevent corruption”, Hovsepyan says.
According to him, corruption crimes will be precluded in both economic and
legal spheres. The newly-set up Department will cooperate with the Control
Chamber of President.
Mihran Minasyan, Head of Department for Struggle against Corruption, has
phrased the purposes of activity: it turns the department will yet clarify
corruption cases. “The aim of the Department is to synthesize which of
crimes corruption is and to fight against it. It will increase efficiency of
averting corruption”. There are now corruption cases under jurisdiction that
are examined.
By Aghvan Hovsepyan’s word, the journalists will be given to the
information, which won’t run counter to the interests of preliminary
investigation.
