YEREVAN AUTHORITIES CALL CITIZENS NOT TO USE SERVICE OF STREET TRADERS
YEREVAN, JUNE 13. ARMINFO. “We call the public of Yerevan not to use
the service of street traders and not to drink the unhealthy juices
made directly in the street.” Vice Mayor of Yerevan Arman Sahakyan
made such a statement at a briefing today.
He said that 21 of 38 territories for mini-markets are functioning
at present. As regards still functioning “trading tables,” Sahakyan
said that municipality has no relevant levers to settle this issue,
however, it will clean the streets, and then the problem with the
street traders will be solved through the police.
In his turn, Head of the Public Health Department of Yerevan
Municipality Armen Soghoyan states that the Hygienic and
Anti-epidemiological Inspection cannot examine the quality of the
street products as the traders are not legal entities. “So it remains
for us to call the public not to buy the products from the street to
avoid possible poisoning.” According to him, no cases of poisoning
from street products have been registered in the current year so far.
