GYUMRI, FEBRUARY 5, ARMENPRESS: Gyumri authorities fight against the
street trade. With the decision of the municipality the retail trade of
agricultural food in the area near the food market on Victory avenue
has already been forbidden. The municipality suggests the merchants
to move to the territory of the market and organize the trade in a
more civilized order.

Though the merchants refuse from moving to the market, the municipality
already cleans the mentioned territories.

Responsible for the public relations of the municipality Lilit Aghekian
told Armenpress that yet in December last year the municipality
informed the merchants of the territory about forbidding of the trade.

In 2008 the municipality succeeded in forbidding the street trade in
another territory of the town on Mayakovski street by moving it to
the market.
