In Armenia, on these days, there is a problem with regards to the price
of the meat. Villagers sell meat at a high price and the resellers
complain because they have to increase the price in turn so the
citizens refuse buying the meat at such a high price. The minister
of Agriculture Gerasim Alaverdyan was trying to explain the reason
at the Shant TV.
According to him, the reason is the fact that the exporters who export
meat to Iran pay much more to villagers, so they increased the price
for home market too. Alaverdyan affirmed that the price will decrease
when new sheep are born. But it is logical that as many the sheep
become in Armenia, as much the export will be, consequently, there
will always be some deficit of meat and the villager is not silly to
sell it at a low price.
As to who are those engaged in the export of meat is known to
everyone. The media has repeatedly dwelt on Serge Sargsyan's brother,
Sashik Sargsyan in this relation. The minister of Agriculture himself
may be unaware of it as such issues are out of the framework of his
responsibility. If there was no high-ranking official behind all this,
so perhaps, the committee on the protection of economic competition
would be at least a little interested in this issue.
