Yerevan, 26 June: Overcoming corruption and shadow economy in Armenia
presumes also overcoming a psychological barrier, Armenian Prime
Minister Serzh Sargsyan thinks. He presented to Armenian MPs today
the government’s programme for the next five years.

Sargsyan said that avoiding to pay taxes and bribing will be
approached as a dishonourable occurrence condemned by society. "There
must not be all forgiving approaches within us, and we should begin
from ourselves. We should not take into account family or friendly
ties, we should not think co-partisans the people who avoid paying
taxes. We must understand that this is the most serious illness for
the government," Sargsyan stressed.

He added that the government will demand from law enforcement agencies
to activate the fight against corruption and make revealing of crime
worthy of being voiced. In this connection, the activities of the
Prosecutor’s Office, the Police, and tax and customs bodies should
become more transparent, Sargsyan said.
