    Next Surprise By State Revenue Committee


    An ad posted on the windows of the BCP of Bavra says bringing used
    tires to Armenia is prohibited. This ad might be encouraging for every
    citizen since used tires pollute the environment. But in this case one
    wonders why tires and not plastic bags, bottles or other things are
    banned.

    The problem is that the ban on import of used tires has nothing to do
    with environmental concerns and patriotic activities of the
    government. It is no secret that tires are unreasonably expensive, and
    thousands of citizens change their tires in Georgia and bring along
    their old tires which can be used for some more time. The SRC must
    have thought hard on how to tackle with the citizens' guile and make
    them buy tires in Armenia, not in Georgia. This is not an easy matter
    and the SRC has thought a lot and decided to prohibit import of old
    tires. They think that most citizens who will spare their old tires
    will put off their visit to Georgia for as long as they can, waiting
    until their tires wear out, and if their tires blast suddenly, the
    citizens will have to buy a tire in Armenia. So, the SRC has found the
    way how to solve the problem partly. The more tires blast, the better.

    I don't know who imports tires to Armenia. Judging by the unreasonable
    prices, someone infamous has the monopoly, and instead of curbing this
    investor's ambitions and ensuring competition to make sure prices
    fall, the authorities are acting adversely, such as the SRC.
