    The group led by the head of the supervision service Carlen Petrosyan
    monitored the 6 bakeries in Stepanakert yesterday. The monitoring group
    included representatives of the government, the City Hall, experts
    from the Quality Inspection Service and the Center of Sanitation and
    Epidemiology, as well as journalists.

    According to Carlen Petrosyan, the monitoring focuses on four things:
    price, quality, weight and the working conditions at the bakeries.

    The group has split into two parts. The group first visited the bread
    factory of Stepanakert where the working conditions of the staff
    are not compliant. It was confirmed by the experts who conducted the
    monitoring. By the way, this factory supplies the army with bread.

    There are no problems with weight. In some bakeries the weight of
    bread was even above the standard weight. For instance, a flat loaf of
    bread the average weight of which is 320-340 grams weighs 342 grams,
    the price is the same, 100 drams. A loaf of brown bread should weighs
    352 grams, costs 90 drams. The director Arayik Hakobyan says the
    price of the brown loaf is lower because the bakery can bake more
    brown loafs at the same time than loafs of flat bread.

    The experts reported drawbacks regarding the quality of
    bread. According to the director who was appointed ten days ago,
    the old ovens are bad and "need to be replaced". The director of the
    factory says, however, they use superior quality flour. The director
    promised to eliminate all the shortcomings.

    A number of shortcomings were revealed in the other bakeries. For
    instance, at the Hayastan bakery the premises are too small and
    several processes are carried out in the same place, which is not
    the right technology.

    Better conditions are at the Ruzan bakery which produces 1000-1200
    loafs a day. According to the director of the enterprise, they use
    superior quality flour. They sell the bread in their own shop. The
    only drawback of the enterprise is the state of the car which delivers
    bread to the shops.

    "We are going to solve this problem over the next week. We have bought
    a car and we are now equipping it," said the owner of the bakery.

    The bread and flour used in the bakeries are being tested at the
    Center of Sanitation and Epidemiology.

    Such monitoring has been frequent over the past few years, complaints
    are also many, the situation is not changing, however. We will wait
    to see the result of this activity.
