While there are 32 importers of food fish in Armenia, two corner 80%
of the market.
Not surprisingly, the food fish giants in question, Mkhchyan Fish
Food and Sagati/Sagati Fish and are owned by top ranking government
officials.
Mkhchyan Fish Food is wholly owned by former Armenian MP Henrik
Abrahamyan, brtother of National Assembly president Hovik Abrahamyan.
The company is registered in the Abrahamyan family native village of
Mkhchyan, hence the name.
We should note that Hovik Abrahamyan and his in-law, Prosperous Party
leader Gagik Tsaroukyan, run a huge fish farm in the Ararat community
of Zorak.
Hovik Abrahamyan's other brothers also run a fish farm in Mkhchyan,
and the imported food not only serves their needs but there's enough
left over to sell.
Sagati and Sagati Fish were founded by the same individuals - Tariel
Barseghyan, Garik Aloyan and Alvina Grigoryan.
Tariel Barseghyan served as the president of the RA Supreme Court and
now heads the Civil Law Department at Yerevan State University. He
is also a member of the Council of Justice.
But it's his son Tigran, Deputy President of the State Revenue
Committee, which deals with the daily running on the family fish farm
and food importation.
Garik Sloyan and Tariel Barseghyan registered another company this
July, called Veneri LLC, which also imports fish food.
