In Armenia a serious attention is paid to food security, Chairman
of the NA Standing Committee on Financial-Credit and Budget Affairs
Gagik Minasyan stated at today’s meeting with journalists noting
that especially the Ossian conflict appeared to be a stimulus for it,
when as a result of the interruption of communication means within two
weeks the food import to Armenia faced great difficulties. According
to him, currently a greater attention is paid to the consolidation
of the state reserve, the assortment of products accumulated in
it, the issues of its protection and freshening, as well as to the
agricultural products of local production.
