Ms Srbuhi Galyan, Deputy Minister of Justice of the Republic of Armenia thanked for organising such discussions, stressing their importance.\u00a0“The peculiarity of this anti-corruption strategy is that it contains an analysis of past information.\u00a0An assessment of past anti-corruption strategies has been made and the draft has identified the positive and negative aspects of those strategies.\u201d the Deputy Minister said, presenting the general directions of the strategy.<\/p>\n
Mr. Artyom Mesropyan, Coordinator of Justice and Related Spheres of the CCD Project, outlined the process of developing the document, what is to be expected with the adoption of this strategy, and what solutions the state proposes to eliminate institutional corruption from the country.\u00a0“If we talk about the past, it should be emphasized that some actions had been taken during the rather than no actions had been undertaken before the revolution, but however there was no political will.\u00a0Today, the government has that political will and in order to fight corruption effectively, revolutionary approaches and new solutions are needed, so that the mistakes made by the former powers are not repeated,” Artyom Mesropyan said.<\/p>\n
