ARMENIAN OFFICIAL TO SPEAK HERE

A top adviser to the president of Armenia will talk with
Watertown’s Armenian-American community Nov. 12 about the country’s
latest efforts to control corruption. Bagrat Yesayan, who chairs
Armenia’s State Commission on the Monitoring of Anti-Corruption
Strategy Implementation, was appointed in September 2003 to create a
plan to combat corruption, particularly after parliamentary elections
last year. Yesayan is working with the Council of Europe’s Group of
States Against Corruption, which will monitor the campaign’s
effectiveness in January. The free talk will be held at the Armenian
Cultural and Educational Center, 47 Nichols Ave., beginning at 8 p.m.
