“Control chambers in different states are different in essence by virtue of being adjusted to the given country’s conditions,” Head of Poland’s Supreme Control Chamber Yatsek Yazersaky told a joint news conference organized in RA National Assembly with Head of Armenian Control Chamber Ishkhan Zakaryan.
Difference between Armenian and Polish control chambers is no impediment to effective cooperation, he said. “Notwithstanding existing differences, control chambers should be free and independent both in financial and functional terms. That will only contribute to effective control,” Yazersky noted.
When asked by journalists about the most corrupt spheres in Poland and Armenia, he said it was difficult to give definitely one answer. “The important thing is that we were able to explain to our society to what extent corruption may be destructive to state.” Polish official also added that corruption risks were more widespread in privatization sphere.
Ishkhan Zakaryan noted in turn that RA Control Chamber has a working group dealing with such issues and in 2010, he will make a statement, determining the essence of corruption and indicating corrupt spheres and tools designed to combat them.
