During the discussion, Mr. Karen Zadoyan, President of the ALA, Coordinator of the Secretariat of the CSO Anti-Corruption Coalition of Armenia, spoke about the key actors in the anti-corruption environment and anti-corruption pillars and said,
“I believe, the fight against corruption is not a monopoly of political authorities or state bodies, and regardless of the degree of political will, it is impossible to effectively overcome corruption risks without cooperation with the society, in particular with the entire sphere of professional civil society organizations. If these forces do not unite, then the anti-corruption fight cannot be effective.”
Karen Zadoyan also mentioned that the Ministry of Justice is an institution with which they have cooperated and will continue to cooperate regardless of individuals.
“Of course, cooperation is more effective under one minister and less effective under another, but this is a time factor. We are consistent and work clearly on our vision,” Karen Zadoyan said.
