Armenian ethics committee rejects Transparency International’s appealJune 13, 2013 - 21:56 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia’s ethics committee rejected Transparency International Anti-Corruption Center’s appeal regarding the violation of ethical norms by MP Samvel Aleksanyan. According to the committee’s decision, the appeal lacks documents proving the violations committed. On May 24, the center addressed the committee with a request to consider the compliance of MP Aleksanyan’s conduct during Yerevan city council elections with parliamentary ethical norms, with a relevant internet video material cited as a proof. “The committee considered the video material unlinked to the demands listed in the appeal. However, according to the video, the MP’s visit to the polling station served the purpose of monitoring the election process,” the center’s report reads.
