The amount of people that admitted to paying a bribe in Turkey in 2010 was 33% (6) whereas in Georgia it was just 3%. (1) I would argue the reason behind the difference in corruption is because Georgia’s officials are held more accountable. In 2004 major corruption reforms were implemented wherein new branches of government were created in order to eliminate the corruption. (2) However, in Turkey there is less accountability. There is video evidence of the current president and one of his advisors assaulting people. It has also been proven that the current president of Turkey has been using illegal wiretapping and the intervention in many judicial cases.
