A group of Armenian citizens engaged in green-house business protested
outside the government building early on Monday.
According to a press release by the opposition Heritage party, the
complaints related to the protection of local producers' rights,
"unequal competition in the market" and imports of tomatoes from
Turkey which are "not custom-cleared."
Some of the complaints referred also to "high interest rates" of the
loans the banks provide farmers with.
Further the statement said that the farmers asked Armen Martirosyan,
an MP of the Heritage party, to join their protest.
Having got familiarized with their complaints Martirosyan offered
them to choose four representatives and later they met with the Head
of Staff of the government, Davit Sargsyan.
"At the meeting, David Sargsyan, having listened to the issues
raised, pledged to inform them in the nearest future over the ways
the government envisages to solve this problems," read the statements.
