Haykuhi Harutyunyan is the candidate for the member of the Corruption Prevention Committee nominated by the NA “Bright Armenia” faction.
Independent MP Arman Babajanyan asked a question: “You have assumed the position of Chair of the “Protection Rights without Borders” NGO, previously occupied by Siranuysh Sahakyan, Serzh Sargsyan’s referent, appointed in 2013, who later became Chairman of the Commission on Ethics of High-Ranking Officials of Armenia. I would like to know the affiliation you have with Siranush Sahakyan. And I have no doubt about your sincerity in the fight against corruption and so on, for example, have you faced any difficulty or discomfort within the organization headed by Siranush Sahakyan?”
Haykuhi Harutyunyan said it was not a secret; “We have and have been in a friendly relationship, but I believe that since 2013, no one in the activities of the organization will be able to point out or show any evidence that we have had any impact. In our work, the sharp, willful criticism of the former authorities has never been restrained. I have not received any restraint personally,” the candidate for the CPC said.
