Corruption exists in all countries of the world: Edmon Marukyan
Head of the Bright Armenia faction Edmon Marukyan hailed the election of the faction’s candidate Haykuhi Harutyunyan in the post of the chairperson of the newly set Corruption Prevention Commission.
Speaking to reporters he said he is pleased with the election of experienced person in the post.
“I think a worthy candidate has been elected in the post of the chairperson of the commission,” Marukyan said.
Asked whether there would have been an essential difference if chairperson was from the ruling force, Marukyan said, “In any case Haykuhi would have her role, but I think it is very good that such an experienced person who always raises her voice has been elected. It is very important to look at the path a person has passed and Mrs Harutyunyan has passed a long path in teghe lal field and has good education in the human rights sphere.”
Asked whether corruption still exists in Armenia, Marukyan said, “Corruption always exists. It exists in all the countries of the world. Another thing is its public perception. Today in Armenia corruption is not being controlled from one point.”
