A number of grocery stores in Armenia are selling eggs displaying
the stamp of the country's Defense Ministry, Armenian media reports.
Following some confusion at the Ministry, it was learned that the
company that shipped the eggs to the stores had previously won a tender
to supply eggs to the country's armed forces. It is still unclear,
however, how the eggs ended up at privately owned stores.
Incidentally, according to the contract with the Ministry, the company
was supposed to provide Grade A eggs, while the actual eggs happen
to be Grade B.
Military police are conducting an investigation. A number of suppliers
and retailers have already been questioned.
