the problem of Armenia. Even today we have this problem in the USA:
I mean high ranking officials who are involved in this problem,"

irrespective of position.

The Ambassador said that congressmen, high ranking officials have been
sentenced in America for commiting corruption. She said that people
should believe in justice system if we want corruption to be managed.
