Pashinyan: Corruption exposures affect an increasing number of  people, even those who applauded the velvet revolution

ArmInfo. "Even in my most critical criticism when I was an oppositionist, I could not imagine that there is such a situation in the country that robbery and the  theft of state funds could reach such fantastic proportions." This is  reality, and we must fix it, "the prime minister said, Minister of  Armenia Nikol Pashinyan today at a press conference.

At the same time, he stressed that corruption exposures affect an  increasing number of people, even those who applauded the velvet  revolution. "When I said that the fight against corruption would not  spare anyone, not even my family members, I was not kidding,"  Pashinyan said.

Speaking about the personnel policy, he noticed that there might be  wrong appointments. "But we never hesitated to correct our mistakes,"  the prime minister said, while stressing that currently there is a  shortage of qualified personnel, "he said, stressing that in some  areas the government deliberately failed to take revolutionary  personnel changes so that to violate the natural course of their  activities, including the Police and the SRC"In the end, personnel  reforms do not mean personnel pogrom, those cadres who will work  effectively under the new realities will remain in their places," he  concluded.
