A recent report by “Fact” newspaper sheds light on the government’s renewed focus on combatting corruption in Armenia. Government officials have emphasized the need to eliminate corruption and take decisive anti-corruption measures. This push is not coincidental, as it is part of a larger effort to regulate relations with neighboring Azerbaijan, independent of any specific conditions.

The newspaper’s sources indicate that Azerbaijan has requested Armenia to publicly declare its commitment to eradicating corruption. This includes utilizing all available resources to crack down on corrupt individuals and organizations. Furthermore, the source suggests that authorities should publicly disclose information about these illicit actors, at the highest level possible.
