Vice Minister of Justice notes that corruption slows national economic and human rights development
The single most important structural element contributing to political corruption in Armenia is the lack of separation of powers and checks and balances. The Ukrainian people should press for constitutional reform to implement direct election of the heads of the four branches of government. Elected officials should serve a single term of 5 years and be barred from other office for 6 years afterwards. 1/4 of all MPs should face election each year, and elections should be free for candidates.
