Transparency International anti-corruption center, along with other organizations, has established an award in the name of the late Amalia Kostanyan, founder of the Transparency International Armenia, who was respected by many for her role in the fight against corruption in the Republic of Armenia. Kostanyan died suddenly in September this year.
The news of the award was shared with the press today by Transparency International chair Sona Ayvazyan.
“Beginning next year, this award will be given every year on Dec. 9 to those who have been deemed worthy and who made certain contributions in the fight against corruption and developing civil society. The form and contents of this award will be made public through the media, we will disseminate it and we will be able to realize this initiative,” she said.
