National Assembly deputy Shake Isayan wrote: “During the 25 March question and answer session with the Government, I raised the issue of unacceptable inflation in the food market, noting that the authorities should be more vigilant in a state of emergency not to allow the increase in economic appetite.

At that time various explanations and assurances were made.

Just half a month after the country declared a state of emergency, we are witnessing the most incredible increases in the food market.

The figure shows that, for example, 1 kg of lemon in one of the supermarkets costs 1850 AMD. And here’s the 1 kg of ginger has reached 15-900 drams.

We contacted the management of the “Nor Zovk” supermarket in this regard, as the price tag showed that the product was being sold in “Nor Zovk” and received clarification that they too were concerned about the inflation of their products, and that they were working on a policy of curbing price growth, they said at the time. that the price of the goods did not rise at their will, but that they were bought at a high price.

And, according to the citizens, the prices of one of the coffee machines in Tsovagyugh have almost doubled. One wonders, for example, which of the components of a cappuccino that has been so inflated that we have such a sad picture.

Tomorrow morning we will also contact Tsovagyugh to find out if we are dealing with recurrent uncontrolled misconduct or dealing with “objective” inflation.

Taking into account the aforementioned and reiterating that there is a sharp rise in inflation in the Republic of Armenia, I again urge the SCPEC and the Ministry of Economy to take steps to identify importers’ data, identify possible infringements, and initiate appropriate proceedings,” – she mentioned.
