Samvel Karapetyan, who heads the Yerevan branch of the Research on
Armenian Architecture NGO, speaks out about the proliferation of
labelling on Armenian products that give precedence to Russian and
English over Armenian.
He recounts an incident last year when he noticed that garlic produced
in Azerbaijan was being sold in stores throughout Armenia. Each clove,
he says, was like a bullet fired from Baku.
Karapetyan points to this incident as forcing him to pay more attention
to what is being sold in Armenian markets and how Armenia made products
are labelled.
