"In Armenia monopoly is not battled, on the contrary, there
is consolidation and growth of black market. Clans are being
developed," stated Member of Parliament Tatul Manaseryan June
20 at the Hayeli Club. According to him, the Armenian economy is
uncontrollable. "Emergence of monopolies hampers competition greatly,"
says Tatul Manaseryan.
If black economy in Armenia is about 70-80 percent, on the petrol
market it is 400 percent. Presently, twice as less petrol is
imported to Armenia than in 1995. Whereas the customs services boast
considerable collections from the import of cars. According to the
Department of Motor Vehicles, the number of cars has tripled since
1995. "Please multiply and get twice as less petrol by the rules of
arithmetic that we have been taught," suggests Tatul Manaseryan.
Another Republican Member of Parliament Gagik Melikyan thinks that
the declining consumption of petrol is caused by the rising number of
cars running on gas. "Why are the filling stations closed down?" asks
Gagik Melikyan for his part. Certain filling stations were closed
because they did not comply with standards, and the number of cars
running on gas did not go so high as to cause consumption of petrol
to decline twice, insists Tatul Manaseryan.
Nevertheless, he is optimistic and he thinks that we will have a
normal economy because it is simply imposed on us.
