/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The major problem in Armenia’s anti-monopoly
policy is the low level of tax and customs administration, RA Prime
Minister said.

"Armenian government developed an anti-corruption program for
2009-2010, which received a positive feedback from international
structures. However, it’s hard break down the relationship implanted
in the business sector for years," Tigran Sagsyan said when addressing
the 30th meeting of the intergovernmental council on CIS anti-monopoly
policy in Yerevan.

"The geopolitical situation in the region has negative impact on
development of healthy competition in the republic. Closed borders
cause huge transaction expenses and SME can’t act efficiently in the
market occupied by major entities," he said.
