According to the general prosecutor, &quot;unwavering integrity&quot; was a priority for him.&nbsp;<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tKostanyan first claimed that in the fight against corruption and change of personnel in the prosecutor&#39;s office, 80 prosecutors were dismissed, then said there were good employees among them who were left out of the system for various social reasons.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tReporters asked him to explain for what instances of corruption prosecutors were dismissed; however, Kostanyan provided neither specific incidents nor the names of prosecutors involved in corruption.
