US EMBASSY PRESENTS ARMENIAN AUTHORITIES WITH DOCUMENTS ON CORRUPT
OFFICIALS
The US embassy in Yerevan has presented the Armenian authorities with
documents that contain accusations of corruption against Armenian
officials, the Armenian news agency Mediamax has said.
The embassy said that they closely examined all these documents and
after becoming convinced that they contain serious accusations,
immediately raised the issue with the Armenian government, Mediamax
reported.
"We continue to expect that accusations of corruption against
officials should be taken seriously and investigated as is the case
in the USA," Mediamax quoted the US embassy as saying. The embassy
thinks it irrelevant to make further comments on the nature of these
accusations until they are proven, it said.
