‘Say No to Corruption’ Campaign kicked off

Armenia’s judicial system hasn’t the act of disqualifying, said expert Hyke Harutyunian at the Round Table. “Under the 2007’s changes in law, the judge alone makes a decision whether to approve motion to dismiss or not. In addition, the made decision is final and doesn’t subject to appeal,” pointed the expert.

According to Hyke Harutyunian, in this connection, they have applied to Advocate for Human Rights, who in his part will apply to the Constitutional Court.

It’s worth mentioning, that the Round Table and these hearings are being held in the framework of the “Say No to Corruption in our Lives” programs by APRA and USAID. The programs’ chief objective is to introduce to the society, media, and business the legal mechanisms to protect their rights when they face corruption.

The campaign includes programs and projects to cover the cases of fights against corruption in the courts via media resources.

In the framework of the campaign some 20 publications are released on Aysor.am and Panorama.am on-line papers; a TV version is also available.
