HIGH CORRUPTION PERCEPTION INDEX IN ARMENIA – VARUZHAN HOKTANYAN
13:26 * 24.02.15
With respect to corruption, the situation in Armenia leaves much to
be desired, Varuzhan Hoktanyan, Executive Director of the Transparency
International anti-corruption center, told reporters on Tuesday.
“The situation is neither worsening nor improving, and the perception
index remains unchanged,” he said.
Armenia remains a country with a high corruption perception index – 36.
“We are behind Georgia and Turkey, but the situation in Armenia is
better than in Azerbaijan and Iran,” Mr Hoktanyan said.
A number of reasons account for a better situation in Armenia as
compared with the other Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) member-states.
