Today morning Yerevan resident Armine was caught unawares in "Armenia"
shop as the price of sugar had gone up from AMD 250 to AMD 400 within
a night.
I am really astonished at the speed of rise in prices, she said.
During our short tour through Yerevan shops we came to know that sugar
price differs from 300 to 400 drams in shops. Some shops didn't sell
sugar at all.
Shop-assistants were also surprised at the rise in prices.
"Yesterday they brought in the sacks and forbade us to open. Today
they raised the prices quite unexpectedly," a saleswoman said.
Many explain the rise in prices with the upcoming elections.
"They shouldn't treat people so severely. Rice in prices has become
an ordinary phenomenon. People cannot stay without sugar especially
in winter.
Obviously, they test our nerves," said Arusiak Gevorgian, a resident
of Yerevan.
According to Gevorg Danielian the rise in prices is the recurring
vandalism towards the Armenian people.
"I expect the least from these authorities. They seem to have forgotten
that they ought to serve the people and not the vise versa."
"They speak of high revenues, economic growth but forget about people's
assiduous work and sweat. They utilize our money, and make everything
unattainable for us. It is impossible to live in this country,"
said Arsham Manukian.
To note, the price of cereals has gone up from 50-100 drams per a kilo.
