During today's discussion on the opening of the French Carrefour
network of supermarkets in Armenia, chairman of the NA standing
commission on economic issues Vardan Ayvazyan wondered how it is
possible to hinder the Carrefour opening in Armenia adding that it
is easy to register the company and rent the territory. He is sorry
this issue is discussed nationally.
According to Ayvazyan there is no problem for Carrefour. He says market
relations are in place. The head of the NA standing commission said
that it would be better to wonder whether local producers are protected
and what possibilities there are to ensure the best conditions for
local producers.
Former owner of Le Cafe de Paris Valerie-Ashkhen Gortsunyan also
participated in the discussion via Skype and noted that it is
impossible to run business in Armenia because the laws don't function
and there are monopolies. He asked Vardan Ayvazyan: "What if Carrefour
wants to import sugar in Armenia? How will it do that if the sugar
market is monopolized?"
In answer Vardan Ayvazyan said that there was a time when there was
such a problem, but now anyone can think about importing sugar. He
said that he does not want to say that the Armenian market is perfect;
he disagrees with many things too.
In answer to reporters' question why Carrefour and Dalma Garden Mall
failed to come to terms on the rent, Vardan Ayvazyan said that perhaps
Carrefour didn't pay enough for 1 square meters. According to him,
the government and the National Assembly said their positive opinion
in this relation, but perhaps, the enterprises didn't like each other.
