dairy products and other food became higher. If a few days ago beef
was 1700-1800 drams, now the price is highered ` 1900-2000, pork meat
was 2500-3000, now it costs 3500-4000. `Lori’ cheese cost 1500-1600
drams, now it costs 1800 drams.
According to the committee representative they continue their
monitoring. What will the committee find out, this is a big question?
Our monitoring showed that people is in panic. Some did not get their
salaries; the others did not get their money which relatives send from
