YEREVAN. – The Armenian National Assembly (NA) Standing Committee on State and Legal Affairs gave a negative conclusion to the opposition Heritage NA Faction members’ draft decision on forming an ad hoc anti-corruption committee, 168 Zham daily reports.    

“As we had already informed, PM Tigran Sargsyan had stated that instead of forming a new anti-corruption body, it will be better to strengthen the already-functioning committees.

To note, anti-corruption committees [already] function conjunct to the Premier and the President,” 168 Zham writes.
