  • TIAC Opinion on Manifestations of Corruption During Construction Of
    TRANSPARENCY INTERNATIONAL anti-corruption center 28 December, 2012 OPINION on manifestations of corruption during construction of Yerevan city center Large-scale urban development programs were launched in Armenia following the RA Government Decision N774 of 25 November 2000 “On Yerevan City’s Northern Avenue Construction Project” and subsequent decisions on property alienation and land allocations for construction.1 At the same time, these programs were marked with massive deprivation of citizens’ property and forced displacement constituting gross violations of human rights stipulated in the RA Constitution and international conventions. Illegal processes occurring under the guise of “state needs” were also accompanied with symptoms of corruption that reverberate and continue up until the present. In fact, programs on the construction of Northern Avenue and, later other areas in the center of Yerevan, were adopted behind close doors by a few officials with the sole intent to make profit. It was particularly apparent in view of the unhidden, personal interest of then President Robert Kocharyan in construction programs2 and boosting entrepreneurial activities of a few at the expense of the distorted fates of thousands of citizens’ and the destruction of the city’s historical and cultural heritage. These processes were carried out by the Yerevan Municipality based on illegal decisions of the RA Government and were accompanied by criminal inaction and/or actions supporting illegal activities by other respective state institutions, including oversight entities, law enforcement bodies and the judiciary. These actions and/or inactions are detailed below. Illegal decision-making processes • Construction processes in the center of Yerevan were carried out in violation of the RA Constitution (1995).

The government leaves no chance to young people, stifling them till they flee the country. The problem is now past the political one – it turned into a universal issue to be addressed immediately. The government won't stir a finger to help common people. Charles Aznavour, Philanthropist, Chansonnier, Ambassador of Armenia to Switzerland and UNESCO, December 2011 * * * We must continue to keep Armenia in isolation from all international projects. This tactic and policy are bearing fruit… If we look a little bit ahead – the demographic situation will also play and plays a positive role. Today Azerbaijan's population reaches 9.5 million people. Less than 2 million people live in Armenia. If our population grows at this pace, and the Armenian population declines, then after about 5-7 years, our population will be ten times more. This is itself a source of strength. If we take into consideration our successful economic policy, energy policy of Azerbaijan, I think we will achieve what we want. - Ilham Aliyev, President of Azerbaijan, May 2013 * * * We are losing villages – one of the key sources of natural demographic reproduction and growth. If the situation does not change within the next 5-7 years, for the first time in the history there will be no natural demographic growth and reproduction in Armenia, i.e.
