On February 24, 2015 Varuzhan Hoktanyan, Executive Director of Transparency International Anticorruption Center held a press conference in “Nyut” Press Club. In his opinion there is no serious fight against corruption at present if there is no political will. Efforts are made to take cosmetic measures, for instance due to electronic government for less face-to-face contacts between government officials and citizens in order to reduce the opportunities for people in authority to abuse their power. However, it is not an effective solution of the problem. Anticorruption policy should derive from a more important factor – selecting the right economic model and definition of effective development vector. Only after it will the anticorruption policy become a factor contributing to that vector.
