Chorord Inknishkhanutyun: Armenian salt expected in China?
June 04, 2011
Management of the Avan salt mine is looking for ways to establish
contacts with China to supply large quantities of iodized salt to the
country, the Armenian Chorord Inknishkhanutyun newspaper writes.
New business program was inspired by panic in China regarding
necessity to struggle with radioactive elements caused by the accident
at Japan’s Fukusima 1 NPP.
Chinese are buying iodized salt, as in contrast to the infected sea
salt, it helps the body overcome radiation effects.
Despite the ongoing advocacy by the Chinese authorities that there is
no radiation threat, salt disappeared from store shelves in Beijing
and several provinces.
`According to rumors, Ghukasyan was so inspired that thought Armenian
salt is not enough and it is necessary to buy salt in other countries
and then resold it to China,’ the newspaper writes.
