October 1 Chairman of NA Standing Committee on Science, Education,
Culture and Youth Issues Hranush Hakobyan met with US Deputy Ambassador
to Armenia Anthony Godfrey and expert on political-economic issues
Masha Hurbst.

Mr. Godfrey noted that fighting corruption has become one of the
primary tasks of different international organizations and many
countries. Although RA Government intends to elaborate a new national
program of fighting corruption, no practical steps have been taken
up to now, no means have been provided from state budget.

US Deputy Ambassador assured that in case a certain sum is allocated
from RA state budget, the US and UNDP are willing to provide active
assistance.

It was decided to make cooperation continuous and undertake practical
measures for program implementation.
