ARMENIA’S PRESIDENT ‘AT TOP OF CORRUPTION PYRAMID’ – OPPOSITION REP

Tert.am
31.01.12

Zoya Tadevosyan, a member of the opposition Armenian National Congress
(ANC), believes that Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan is the main
culprit in corruption in Armenia.

At a Tuesday discussion of Armenian political parties’ agenda, she
stated that the Armenian president is “at the top of the corruption
pyramid.”

“The first factor is rigged elections. If a person has no political
will and is unable to rule and lets corruption spread, what can we
speak of?” Tadevosyan said.

She reminded the participants that corruption is a crime, and the
rapidly growing emigration is one of its consequences.

“Who’s going to bear responsibility for emigration? Who’s raising the
problem of the grave socio-economic situation in the country forcing
people to leave their motherland?” she asked.
