`We do not think that the most corrupt sector in
Armenia is customs,’ Rojer Robinson, head of Yerevan
office of the World Bank (WB), told a news conference
today, speaking about sharp criticism of WB report by
the state customs services of Armenia.

In his words, the report said no progress was reported
in the customs and tax services of Armenia in 2005,
moreover, a reverse process started. `We have been
conducted bilateral consultation with the customs
services for several years and declare that they have
implemented all the agreements,’ Robinson said.

Vigen Sarkisyan, press secretary of WB Yerevan office,
said WB will publish data on the most corrupt sector
in Armenia in 2007. /Panorama.am/
