According to representatives of Transparency International Armenia’s Anti-Corruption Center, Journalists’ Club Asparez in Gyumri, and Vanadzor’s Helsinki Citizens Assembly (HCA), struggle against corruption in Armenia is not productive at all, “even though the statistical data of the Prosecutor-General’s Office show the opposite.”

The Interests Protection and Support Centers in Vanadzor, Gyumri and Yerevan (coordinated by the three organizations) has received more than 1,300 appeals, 360 of them referring to corruption, and the rest were mainly connected with abuses of authority since 2008.
