A growth in prices is expected in Armenia soon, the chairman of
Association of Armenian Consumers NGO Armen Poghosian said at a
meeting with journalists today.
In his words, he sees no prospect, except the overthrow of the
government.
Because of the price hike Armenian society has found itself in a
hopeless situation, Poghosian said noting that this increase can be
compensated for.
According to him, one way to combat inflation is differentiation of
utility prices, in particular by setting higher tariffs for the rich.
Another participant of the meeting, economist Vilen Khachatrian
said that inflation in Armenia is due to a number of domestic and
external factors. There is inflation in neighboring countries as well
and Armenia cannot avoid inflation as it imports various goods from
these countries, the economist said.
