Samvel Alexanyan's Sugar Is Humid and 40%
After the mayoral election no essential inflation has been reported
but the experience of previous elections shows that elections will be
followed by inflation, said Armen Poghosyan, head of the Consumer
Association. He notes that soon the gas price will go up while the
authorities avoid talking about this topic.
Armen Poghosyan notes that the gas price was held down due to the
elections. `Every year the price of gas is confirmed in April. This
year the process was frozen due to the elections. Now we are in this
interim period but soon they will give us a surprise. The growing
price of gas will hit everyone. We cannot produce cheap bread and
yoghurt when the gas price goes up,' Armen Poghosyan said.
He says the mistakes come from the big role of the oligarchs in the
electoral processes. After elections they try to return their money.
Besides ordinary inflation which can somehow be curbed, there is also
criminal inflation, as Armen Poghosyan puts it, which is hard to
handle. `It's hard to fight the criminal when sugar is humid or bread
is underweight,' he said.
The Consumer Association has sent two letters to the president
administration, one to the President's Control Service, the other to
Serzh Sargsyan. There is no response, the letters have been forwarded
to the State Food Service. `We demand a check of the quality of bread
and sugar to measure fraud,' Armen Poghosyan also notes that they have
found out that sugar is 40%, not 91% as it should be.
