The Center for Regional Development/Transparency International Armenia (CRD/TI Armenia), a non-governmental organization that focuses on promoting an accountable and transparent governance system, increasing public awareness on reform processes, and encouraging civil society participation in policy decision-making, has presented an award to the Association of Investigative Journalists of Armenia (AIJA) for its remarkable contribution to the fight against corruption. The award was accepted by Edik Baghdasaryan, chairman of the AIJA, on June 18, 2004 at a Europe and Central Asia regional meeting in Yerevan organized by Transparency International. Last year the CRD/TI Armenia award went to Ambassador Roy Reeves, head of the OSCE office in Armenia.
