"According to our data, about 30% of the total cost of a consumer's
basket is spent on low quality goods," Armen Poghosian, head of RA
Association of Consumers, said this at a press conference on April 25.
He explained this by the consumers' unawareness of their own
rights. Poghosian emphasized that during the shopping the consumers
should pay attention to the existence of cash check or the guarantee
ticket. "If the consumers have these two proofs, they will be able
to protect their rights by the law," he said. He reminded that RA
Association of Consumers has been carrying out "No Turkish Goods"
campaign since 2001.
Abgar Yeghoyan, head of NGO for protection of consumers' rights,
added that there is no relevant regulating system for removal of
low quality goods that are dangerous for life. "Our organization
has elaborated the draft of that system and have already submitted
that to the bodies of state management," Yeghoyan said. Besides,
he added that in collaboration with RA Agriculture Ministry they are
elaborating a new draft law "On safety of our products.
