YEREVAN. - The French well-known Carrefour hypermarket chain
definitely must enter Armenia's market, and this has two important
meanings. Coalition government's junior partner, Orinats Yerkir (Rule
of Law) Party (RLP) Chairman, and National Security Council Secretary
Arthur Baghdasaryan noted this during a press conference on Saturday.
`Our product sellers can sell their goods in one of the largest chains
and go out to international markets. In addition, Carrefour's entry
into Armenia means economic liberalization, the weakening of the
competitive positions of the [business] subjects that have a
monopolistic position, and the free competition in Armenia's market. A
[respective] road map already exists, and I hope Carrefour will enter
Armenia's market this year,' Baghdasaryan said.
He also noted that he has a negative outlook on the bankruptcy of
Armavia Airline Company - which is Armenia's national carrier - , and
believes that, by observing the mistakes of the past, the country will
have a developed aviation in the future. According to Baghdasaryan, in
the aviation sector Armenia can be ranked among the developed
countries.
`Armenia needs to pass to the `open skies' policy, [but] at the same
time, not rule out the circumstance of having a national carrier. We
must be able to bring major airline carriers to Armenia, enabling our
air space to be liberalized,' he noted.
To the query as to whether it is already known which positions will be
given to RLP in the new Government, the party chairman responded as
follows:
`The presidential elections do not envision a redistribution of new
positions because the [ruling] political coalition was formed after
the parliamentary elections.'
