The Zhoghovurd daily of Armenia writes as follows, in particular: Since November 2023, passions around the election of members of the Corruption Prevention Commission have continued to run high.

And in the end, (...) it is unclear whether the authorities need the structure to work or whether it will work only when they have a candidate of their heart’s desire. Let us recall that the members of the Corruption Prevention Commission are elected by the Competition Council formed in the National Assembly. It seems that this council should be the most impartial, transparent and accountable, because it elects a person to such an important position, but it seems that this is not the case at all.

The last announcement published in the relevant section of the National Assembly website is on December 16, 2025. (...) According to the latest published announcement, the deadline for the new competition [for the Corruption Prevention Commission members] was January 7, 2026, from which 2 days have already passed, but neither the composition of the competition council is known, nor are the decisions of the non-existent council available. But it seems that the non-existent council has published an announcement.
