Armenia needs to have a government, who can curb down the corruption habits of her citizens and punish those officials who are in corruption, or siding the corruption. This is a national disaster, left over from Soviet era. Armenia needs to teach corruption subjects in high schools and universities, in order to learn and analyze the consequences of corruption in their daily life, societies, and how can endanger Armenia's national security. Most dictatorial regimes of the world run by corrupt government! If we don't curb down corruption now it will grow and grow bigger. Last time Armenia ranked 91 and this year ranked 94!
