Prime Minister acknowledged his guilt
Yerevan' Armenia-Marriott hotel today hosted the 6th conference dedicated to International Anti-Corruption Day marked on December 9.
Armenia's Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan urged to be intolerant towards people infected with "corruption disease." He was displeased to see the half-empty hall. "This means our society is indifferent to corruption," said Mr. Sargsyan.
Both Tigran Sargsyan and RA Prosecutor General defined corruption as an ailment and embellished their speech with medical terminology. This wasn't not accidental since the prime minister underlined that the spheres of health and education are the most corrupted in the country.
The Armenian MP thinks that corruption ranks among the most dangerous diseases that need to be uprooted.
The struggle against corruption should start with high-ranking officials," said Tigran Sargsyan. "They will have to report their activities providing transparency of their actions. Many aspire to hold high posts today and criticize the government simply to reap the fruits of the post. People don't want to change their behavioral norms."
"Efficient civil service and the involvement of the society into the struggle against corruption are also important. It's not a secret that our population is too lenient towards corruption, what hampers formation of a strong state. To eradicate corruption, authorities and population should join efforts," he said.
