The Minister of Justice Rustam Badasyan issued a statement stating, “The fight against corruption is yielding results. Armenia is a country that has made significant progress in corruption perception index.

Dear compatriots!

✔️The results of the Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index (CPC) for 2020 have been published.

🔷Armenia continues to grow significantly, improving by 7 points this year.

🔷Thus, having 49 points, Armenia ranked 60th (77th in 2019, 105th in 2018).

🔷TI notes that with 49 points, Armenia is a country that has made significant progress in the Corruption Perceptions Index, which has improved its results by 15 points since 2012.

✔️Armenia has adopted a gradual approach to reform, leading to sustainable, positive anti-corruption reforms.

🔷At the same time, according to TI, the existing problems in the judicial system are still a challenge for the full success of the fight against corruption.

✔️Let me remind that the results of the CEC are used in the sense that it assesses the citizens’ perception of the steps taken by the state.

I am sure that the anti-corruption, consistent and real reforms, the reforms of the judicial system will contribute to the strengthening of our armed forces.

🇦🇲Congratulations on the Armenian Army Day …
🇦🇲Glory and honor to our defenders of the homeland…
🇦🇲I pay tribute to the memory of the Armenians who dedicated their lives to our homeland.”
