It has a negative impact on the creation of a normal formation, creates a serious threat to economic and social progress, and leads to the violation of human rights and freedoms. The existence of corruption not only harms national and universal values, but also affects the democratic and legal state structure. Cases of corruption are contrary to the values of honesty and justice and over time reduce social trust, threaten the well-being of society, and are considered a criminal act that hinders socio-economic development. We must be determined and fight against corruption in all areas of our society."
