What is the reason that the agricultural provisions are almost
empty and out of markets or on the streets there are some medieval
markets where everything is sold in insanitation. Armen Poghosyan
the president of the consumers association, said "We realize that
there are concrete interests. The trade made on the street is not
taxed officially. Measures should be undertaken to move the street
trade to the markets."

One of the ways for solving the problem the speaker mentioned the
selling of the provisions in the supermarkets and the reducing of
the tax of the place in the markets.

The speaker mentioned that the taxing near the markets is not taken
officially and it goes to the pockets of some individuals, and from
the place taxes of the markets they have to pay.

But according to A. Poghosyan progress can be noticed in the system of
organizing the selling process and the way of treatment and reminded
how the shop assistants and the waiters were treating the people
during the Soviet times.

"As for the quality of the food our examinations show that there is an
improvement in this sphere. The dairy produce, the meat, beer, minerals
are competitive",- assured the president of the consumers union.
