YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 6, ARMENPRESS: The incomes of citizens of Armenia
do not grow like the inflation. Last year the inflation in our country
made 4.7%. Prices for meat products increased by 10%, dairy products'
prices by 7%, oil prices by 12%. The record growth has been registered
in the sugar market 35%. Speaking to reporters today, chairman of the
Association of Consumers Armen Poghosyan said inflation is a natural
phenomenon and the main factors promoting it are transport expenses.
"It is much more cheaper to transport cargos from different parts
of world to Batumi, than from Batumi to Yerevan. It is necessary to
build Fioletovo-Vanadzor railway to cut the length of Batumi-Yerevan
railway by 260 kilometers," he said.
Poghosyan noted that according to consumer basket in Armenia, people
spend 55% of their income on food and in western world 25% is directed
to food which is considered extreme poverty.
"A person is not born to eat and to buy clothes and shoes. If 55%
is being addressed to food and what remains for living with spiritual
life, visiting theatres, cinemas," Poghosyan said.
