    WITCH-HUNT IN AZERBAIJAN'S SUPERMARKETS

    Armenia

    An Indian tea sold in supermarket of Baku, Azerbaijan's capital city,
    with an identification mark including Armenian letters was labeled
    a witch becoming hunted.

    Not bothering to ascertain where this tea had been produced but
    rather for hoop-la Musavat.com's reporter twice published that
    this is Armenian-made product. Asked by this web-site spokesman for
    Azerbaijan's State Committee for Standardization, Metrology and Patents
    Fazil Talibli said that goods with identification mark including
    Armenian letters are put on the list of prohibited items for sale.

    "Recently, there were found dried fruits marked "Sevan" in Armenian.

    The Committee has fined the shop, and this product was prohibited
    for sale," said Fazil Talibli.

    "Imported in Azerbaijan products must necessarily include
    identification mark in Azerbaijani pointing place of production and
    packing. That tea wasn't probably Armenian-made; however, products
    labeled with Armenian-written identification mark or with Armenia's
    flag are strongly prohibited for sale in Azerbaijan. In case of
    watching such goods, people who distribute and sell them, face Law
    Collection of chastisement." According to Azerbaijani official, the
    Committee conducts regular audits of all shopping centers all over
    Azerbaijan to prevent the distribution of Armenian-made goods.

    Thus, any product including those of the highest quality may bring
    troubles to distributors if an identification mark has a single
    Armenian letter written while Musavat.com says that Armenian-marked
    products are in great request.
