Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamian warned on Thursday government officials handling infrastructure projects financed by Armenia's foreign donors to avoid misappropriating public funds or face prosecution.
The warning was addressed to the heads of the Armenian government's ad hoc "project implementation units" (PIUs) that spend foreign loans earmarked for the construction of roads, schools and other public infrastructure.
Abrahamian said that earlier this week he met those officials and told them to "refrain from any manifestations of corruption." "Or else, they would be not only dismissed but I will also see to it that they are subjected to strict punishment in accordance with the law," he told a weekly cabinet meeting in Yerevan.
