Republican MP not satisfied with fight against corruption (video)
Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan, Serzh Sargsyan and Ilham Aliyev, are likely to meet in the near future, Republican lawmaker Gagik Melikyan said on Monday summing up the results of the Warsaw-hosted NATO summit. The third meeting of the two presidents has been arranged by France. “This time the meeting will be attended by French president François Hollande. I hope the meeting will take place but I do not know anything about the date and venue of the meeting. I think they will be clarified and people will be informed about them in due time.” Addressing the NATO summit, Serzh Sargsyan said that that the OSCE Minsk Group is the only platform for the settlement of Karabakh conflict. Does it mean that the Armenian side refuses to discuss the issue in NATO? “I do not think so. The Karabakh conflict has always been discussed in NATO summits. As usual, our Foreign Minister repeated in this summit that all decisions reached on the Karabakh issue should be respected by Azerbaijan, including the observation of the truce and introduction of mechanism to investigate ceasefire violations. Speaking about domestic issues, specifically the fight against corruption announced by the Armenian government in spring, the lawmaker said at present he is not satisfied with the results. “Though they are taking definite steps in this direction I think they do not give satisfactory results. I am sure that more concrete steps will be taken to eradicate corruption not only in the sphere of army-building but also in other spheres,” the MP said in conclusion.
