"When the economic growth is evident the national currency is
appreciated. The point is that there shouldn’t be any shakes so that
businessmen can direct their resources in the right direction," said
Vahram Nersisyants, the President’s councillor on the economic issues
during his meeting with journalists today.

Mr. Nersisyants has recently returned from Singapur, where he
participated in the annual summit of World Bank and International
Monetary Fund. The councillors of 192 presidents gathered in the
summit to discuss corruption, to reveal its essence, to find its
appropriate definition and ways of its combat. "During the debate
we faced a serious problem – which are the criteria of corruption as
corruption has different outcome in different countries. Our second
task referred to the methodology how to measure corruption.

Unless we find the solutions to these problems corruption combat
won’t have distinct bases, " says Vahram Nersisyants.

The Trustee’s Council was assigned to work out a model regulating
corruption combat in spring. A few bills were discussed during the
autumn meeting but the model was not finally affirmed.

Asked whether he approves of the Dashnaktsutyun’s suggestion to form
a corruption combating committee Mr. Nersisyants answered, "The point
is that any establishment combating against corruption may become a
hearth of corruption. I claim that the roots of corruption must be
eradicated at first," offered Vahram Nersisyants.
