ArmInfo.The task of the new Armenian authorities in the field of fighting corruption is not the filling up prisons, but the return of all the stolen to the people, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated at a rally dedicated to 100 days of work of the new governmentt.
According to him, all the robbers will be revealed in turn, law enforcement agencies constantly work to this end. However, the current judicial system, inherited from the former regime, raises many questions. Despite the authorities' intention not to interfere in the affairs of the judicial body, nevertheless, the question of trust in the judicial system remains open. Esecially when judges continue to receive instructions from former corruption authorities. "A corrupted judicial system casts a shadow over all statehood," the RA Prime Minister stated, suggesting the formation of temporary transitional justice bodies, which will have to deal with issues related to corruption. Nikol Pashinyan pointed at the fact that brother of one of the highest- ranking officials of Armenia had $ 30 million on just one of his account in the commercial bank of the country. The problem is that this person was never bound by his participation in power, but the presence of a powerful patron could play a role. Transitional justice agencies, which should not be misunderstood as emergency courts, should deal with similar issues.
The prime minister also noted that many international structures have announced their assistance to the new authorities of the country in identifying and freezing accounts of corrupt officials in foreign banks and returning stolen funds.
