The RA Quality State Inspection established control over the Turkish
goods in the Armenian market during January and February of the current
year. The State budget allotted 80 million AMD for the check-ups of
45 types of goods.
According to the representative of the organization Gevorg Gyozalyan,
all the laboratories are certified, and their investigations showed
that not all the types of goods are technically harmless for the
consumers.
He referred especially to Turkish chocolate which do not correspond
to the security rules of food as they are made not of cocoa but of
soybean oil.
Other Turkish goods dangerous for health are soap “Tar” and tinned
peas. Their sale was stopped right in the market, and the inspection
confiscated the whole load of peas in the wholesale points. According
to the order, the salesmen were prohibited to take back the goods
from the consumers.
Check-ups are realized not only for the Turkish, but also for other
goods, as well as for the Armenian ones. The Armenian goods are checked
according to other standards. In this case violations referred to the
sale without certificates, and the absence of the Armenian inscription
on the pack.
