14:10 / 11/16/2009It is the higher world prices, as well as the
USD revaluation, that account for the rise in consumer prices for
essential goods imported to Armenia, including sugar and butter,
the Parliament member and owner of the Salex Group Company Samvel
Alexanyan told NEWS.am.
He was surprised at the NEWS.am reporter's remark about higher retail
prices for not only sugar, but also butter and other products imported
by the company. "Has the butter price been raised? To tell the truth
I do not know, I have been away. If so, the aforementioned factors
account for it," Alexanyan said. He gave assurances that the retail
price for the products imported by Salex Group will fall provided
the world prices fall and the USD devaluates.
Alexanyan showed his indignation at the fact that journalists "are
constantly noting the rise in prices for the products imported by
Salex Group." "Other companies sell their products at even higher
prices. Even after the price rise, our products are much cheaper that
those imported by other companies. Do not we have the right to raise
prices, why do not they speak about others?" Alexanyan asked with
indignation. He said he is not aware of retail prices, even in the
CITY supermarket chain, as it belongs to his wife. "I have nothing
but an MP's mandate," Alexanyan said.
As regards the TAMIFLU drug imported to Armenia by the Natali Pharm
Company owned by Alexanyan, the MP was surprised to hear about the
drug and at the journalists' interest in it.
"Although I have nothing in common with Natali Pharm, I will find out
the questions of interest to you when I talk to the company manager,"
Alexanyan said, and asked the NEWS.am reporter how much drug with
"a capital T" that person needed. Responding to the MP's inquiry,
the Natali Pharm management reported they have a sufficient amount
and are going to import another 2,000 doses. After sharing this
information with the reporter, Alexanyan asked: "I wonder what kind
of drug this T.... is. What is it for?"
