YEREVAN, APRIL 12, ARMENPRESS: President Robert Kocharian received
today the chief of customs committee Armen Avetisian to discuss
a string of issues on the results of the first quarter, fighting
contraband and the pace of fulfillment of instructions issued by the
president earlier this year.
Kocharian's press office quoted Avetisian as saying that the committee
collected in the first quarter 31.5 billion drams, which was 400
million more than projected. In regard to fighting smuggling of goods,
the president ordered mapping all transit routes that could be used by
smugglers, especially after Georgian authorities closed the biggest
wholesale market in the South Caucasus in Sadakhlo. Kocharian said
these roads must be taken under tight control to prevent smuggling.
The two men also discussed progress in fulfillment of Kocharian's
instructions. Avetisian was quoted as saying that they all were
fulfilled in due time.
