According to RFE/RL’s Armenian service (Azatutyun.am) Senior Armenian state officials tasked with combatting corruption have faced no investigations into millions of dollars in financial aid which they and their wives claim to have received from undisclosed sources in recent years. For Transparency International Anticorruption Center (TIAC), the Armenian chapter of the Berlin-based group Transparency International, these financial statements are a cause for serious concern. “Such donations can be considered to be transactions fraught with high risks of corruption,” Artak Manukian, TIAC expert, told RFE/RL’s Armenian service (Azatutyun.am) on Friday. Manukian said that they would at least be investigated in many countries that are “really fighting against corruption.”
