    AGRICULTURE MINISTER: PRESIDENT'S BROTHER DOESN'T HAVE MONOPOLY ON SHEEP EXPORT

    10.31.2013 01:38 epress.am

    Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan's brother, former MP Aleksander
    Sargsyan, has a monopoly on the export of sheep, said head of the
    Heritage Party parliamentary faction Zaruhi Postanjyan in parliament
    today, asking RA Minister of Agriculture Sergo Karapetyan what the
    ministry is doing to fight against the monopoly in the business of
    the export of livestock.

    The agriculture minister, however, denied the existence of such a
    monopoly. "If you want to work in this business, I can help you.

    There's no monopoly whatsoever - anyone can do it. I can say with the
    utmost certainty, there are no monopolies in the agricultural sector,"
    he said.

    The opposition MP also asked the minister why there are no markets for
    agricultural products in the rural areas of the country, especially
    in Meghri, or in the north, so that, according to her, residents could
    trade with Iran and Georgia, and villagers would have the opportunity
    to sell their goods under favorable conditions. Karapetyan said
    creating a market in the villages is not expedient, as villagers are
    producers and agricultural products have to be consumed in Yerevan
    and in the (larger) cities.

    Postanyan countered that her question was not about the creation of
    markets in the rural areas, but this comment yielded no response from
    the minister.
