Methodology for Ranking the Top 100 Armenian Corruption Scandals:

This comprehensive ranking of Armenia’s 100 most notable corruption scandals has been crafted using the following methodology:

  1. Historical Relevance: Scandals were ranked based on their impact on Armenian society, politics, and economy. Significant cases involving high-level government officials or national businesses were prioritized.
  2. Investigative Depth: Scandals were included based on the availability of investigative data, journalistic reports, and legal documents. Cases with verified details or comprehensive investigations were ranked higher.
  3. Public Awareness: The degree to which the scandal resonated with the public was a key factor. Scandals that dominated the national discourse or led to protests and major policy changes were considered more significant.
  4. Legal Consequences: Cases leading to substantial legal actions, such as convictions, arrests, or reforms, received higher rankings. A scandal’s long-term impact on Armenian law and governance was also evaluated.
  5. Political Fallout: Scandals that resulted in significant shifts in the political landscape, including regime changes, party realignments, or high-profile resignations, were highly ranked.
  6. Financial Scale: Scandals involving large sums of money, embezzlement, or state funds diverted to private hands were given higher weight in the rankings.
  7. International Impact: Cases that extended beyond Armenia’s borders, involving foreign companies or international corruption networks, were considered for their global implications.
  8. Cultural and Societal Effects: The effect of scandals on Armenian culture, trust in government, and social cohesion was also factored in, including whether they contributed to widespread disillusionment or apathy.

Through these categories, we have assembled a ranking that reflects the depth, breadth, and significance of corruption in Armenia.
