Yerevan deputy mayor Arman SAHAKAYAN confessed in a press conference
today that city authorities have no intention to eliminate underground
trade. “On the contrary, Yerevan as many other cities, must have trade
centers at such places,” he said. Perhaps the reason is that both
municipality and local administration are interested in such trade
as they bring profits. Another question is in what sanitary-hygienic
conditions those trade centers are.

According to the deputy mayor, studies are conducted on
sanitary-hygienic conditions of underground trade shops with respective
reports submitted.

The deputy mayor also said that food is prohibited in underground
places. Most probably he has never been to the underground pass of
Barekamution metro station where all kinds of smells of food trade
can be felt.

Garbage is collected right near those shops. All other underground
passes are in similar conditions.
