In his open letter to Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan, Head of ARFD Armen Rustamyan says that "Dashnaktsutyun" will not have a representative in the Anti- Corruption Council.
Rustamyan thanked the Prime Minister for the invitation to take part in the Council's activities. However, writes Rustamyan, the party has for now decided to refrain from getting involved in this body. He also mentions that the party will be informing the Council on corruption cases. "We believe a systemized and omnifaceted fight against corruption to be a top priority. Our party has repeatedly submitted offers on establishing a trustworthy and independent body that will fight against corruption, however, our offers have never been considered", said Rustamyan.
To remind, Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan is to lead the Anti-corruption council. The decision was made on February 19. Government members David Harutyunyan, Hovhannes Manukyan, Gevorg Kostanyan, Public Council Chairman Vazgen Manukyan and a member from each parliamentary opposition faction will join the Council. It is notable, that the wealthiest people of the country will fight the corruption.
