The show "Kontrolnaya Zakupka" hosted by Anton Privolnov on the First
Russian Channel had a separate section for the "Bjni" mineral water.

"Bjni" was among the top three drinks that made it to the finals for
laboratory examination to find out the accuracy of the ingredients
on the label. It turned out that "Bjni" has many microelements and
it was acknowledged the winner.

The show stroke the eye in that it is nearly impossible to find "Bjni"
mineral water in the Armenian market today. It has disappeared from
the market when the Sukiasyan family started facing persecutions
for supporting Levon Ter-Petrosyan during the 2008 presidential
elections. After tax inspections, the "Bjni" mineral water factory shut
down and was put up for auction. The factory was purchased by Deputy
Ruben Hayrapetyan, but the bid was recognized invalid after a short
while. The trial is still in progress and the factory remains closed.

"A1+" found out from sources that the last packs of "Bjni" are being
sold in Russian markets, yet there are no available products anymore.
