ArmInfo. Let everyone get accustomed to the thought that the taxes
must be paid, Armenian Economy Minister said when commenting on the
demonstration of jewelry market employees in front of the building
of the Armenian government.

"Let everyone understand that the taxes must be paid. In that case it
will be much easier to compromise. It is even easier to come to an
agreement when both parties possess similar information. To make it
so, let the jewelry market employees provide us detailed information
about their revenues and tax payments. Then it will be possible to
understand the reason of their discontent",- said Yeritsyan. To note,
the employees of the "Gold Market" have been hold demonstrations
in front of the building of the Armenian government since January
18. The protest is expressed against the requirements on additional
tax payments. The sellers said that the jewelry articles being sold
by them were confiscated.

To recall, at the beginning of 2009 tax evasion by the owners of
jewelry markets drew the attention of the Armenian government. In
January 2009 the prime minister and members of the Armenian government
paid a visit to the "Gold Market".
