Yerevan, 13 September: The investigative agency on the fight against
corruption among high-ranking officials, which is planned to be set
up at the Armenian Prosecutor-General’s Office, will be not used for
political purposes, Armenian Prosecutor-General Aghvan Hovsepyan said
at the parliament in Yerevan today.

Answering questions from MPs, he pointed out that the new agency
will not engage in search operations or in compiling dossiers on
high-ranking officials. Hovsepyan said that similar agencies are
functioning in several European countries as well.

The bill on the establishment of the investigative agency on the fight
against corruption among high-ranking officials will be submitted
to the Armenian parliament soon. Its head will be appointed by the
Armenian president at the proposal of the prosecutor-general.

“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
