The fight against corruption in Armenia has just an imitation,
Transparency International Armenia said in relation to anti-corruption
policy of the government of Armenia. The office officials said USAID
and Counterpart International took party in anticorruption policy
report which Transparency International Armenia prepares. "Three
years ago there were only talks about corruption and the power
authorities launched an anticorruption policy. However, studies
of different international organizations show that nothing has been
changed since that time and the level of corruption remains the same,"
Amalia Kostanyan, head of Transparency International Armenia said. She
think there is no political will to punish the transgressors and also
believes the society will not support, either.
