On 3 June, Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian received the GRECO
monitoring commission headed by Mr. Carlo Chiaramonte, a member of
the GRECO Secretariat.

Minister highly valued the work of the commission and noted that
Armenia seriously understands the need to take necessary steps to
make the fight against corruption more effective.

During the last five days, the GRECO delegation had met with officials
and specialists responsible for the fight against corruption, through
legislative reforms and other steps. During the next six months, the
commission will draft a report with conclusions and recommendations for
steps to be taken in Armenia to overcome this obstacle to democratic
and economic development.

Emil Lazarian

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
