YEREVAN, March 24. /ARKA/. At a regular meeting, chaired by Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, the Anti-Corruption Policy Council discussed unified approaches to investigating violations related to the declaration of property, income, interests, and expenses, as well as measures to reduce corruption risks in the electoral process, the press service of the Armenian government reported.
Representatives of government agencies, public organizations, and invited participants participated in the meeting.
Acting Chairperson of the Corruption Prevention Commission Mariam Galstyan noted that administrative and criminal proceedings involving violations related to asset declarations often yield different interpretations of circumstances, which could impact the uniformity of law enforcement practices.
In this regard, the need for a coordinated methodology for the Corruption Prevention Commission and the Anti-Corruption Committee was emphasized. Strengthening instruments for monitoring the asset declaration process, including a comprehensive analysis of violations to initiate and more effectively conduct preliminary investigations, were also discussed.
Participants also considered proposals from public organizations to reduce corruption risks in the electoral process, including increasing the transparency of election financing, improving voting oversight, and limiting opportunities for illegal financing.
Following the discussion, Pashinyan instructed that work continue on the initiatives presented and that proposals for legislative and practical changes requiring priority resolution be prepared within a short timeframe.
