YEREVAN, JANUARY 25, NOYAN TAPAN. "Protection of Consumer Rights" NGO
(PCR) in December 2007 presented the problems raised by the NGO to
all the candidates for the RA presidency with a proposal to include
their solutions in their pre-election programs, the chairman of PCR
Abgar Yeghoyan said at the January 25 press conference.
According to him, PCR has attached special importance to the formation
of a fair economic competition environment in the consumer goods
market, the necessity to combat unreasonable inflation, the creation
of a system of protection of consumer rights and fair tariffs in the
public services sector, as well as to food safety. In the words of
A. Yeghoyan, these are problems that create a serious obstacle to
development of the Armenian economy today.
A. Yeghoyan announced that they received information from the
pre-election headquarters of Serge Sargsian and Vahan Hovhannisian
that these issues have been included in the pre-election programs of
these candidates. Besides, according to A. Yeghoyan, the problems of
elmininating the monopolies are reflected in the programs of almost
all the candidates. In particular, in his pre-election campaign
Artur Baghdasarian mainly addresses the fight against monopolies,
while Arman Melikian addresses issues related to food safety.
"We urge consumers to take into account, when making a choice,
what the given presidential candidate promises regarding solution
of consumer problems," A. Yeghoyan said. He did not rule out that
unreasonable inflation may again follow the elections.
