The Secretary of the NA Armenia Faction Artsvik Minasyan highlighted the activities of one of the institutes of the anti-corruption policy – the Corruption Prevention Commission. According to him, the international experience shows that the political opposition should play a central role in the effective fight against corruption, as a restraint ring.

In her final speech, the candidate for the member of the Corruption Prevention Commission Mariam Galstyan thanked the MPs for the interesting, substantive and concerned debate.
