19:30, 6 December, 2012
YEREVAN, DECEMBER 6, ARMENPRESS: Azerbaijan, Kenya, Nepal, Nigeria and
Pakistan have shared 133rd place in the Transparency International’s
Corruption index of 2012, getting 27 points out of 100. As higher is
the position of the country in the ranking as corrupted it is. One of
the best results among post Soviet Union countries has Estonia which
is at 32nd place. With a score of 36, Greece ranks 94, together with
Colombia, Benin, Djibouti, India, Mongolia and Senegal. Citizens of
Italy (72nd), too, presumably will have pause for thought: sharing
this rank with Bosnia and Herzegovina and Sao Tome and Principe,
just before Bulgaria. In fact, Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal, at
the center of the Euro crisis, were the four worst ranked countries
in Western European countries in this year’s index. As reports
Armenpress, according to the statement of the organization, yet the
society and authorities of the countries have to pay more attention to
that issue. When referring to Azerbaijan the organization stated that
Azerbaijan should improve some laws on the fight against the corruption
and make some steps to protect the people struggling against it.
