“Armenian building materials can compete with the foreign ones as
what is financed by the market today is competitive,” informed the
Chairman of the Union of Builders in Armenia Gagik Galstyan in the
talk with Panorama.am correspondent. As he said that process is quite
stirred up in Armenia the evidence of which is the export of native
cement to Georgia, Iran and United Arabian Emirates.

Touching upon the rise of the prime cost of the production in mining
branch of inductry G. Galstyan noticed that after the rise of gas
tariff the development of building field will depend on the market of
building materials itself. Besides, as he thinks, the price of cement
is rising at some extent so that to approximate to international
prices.

“Nevertheless, it is in the interests of Armenia,” G. Galstyan noticed.

To remind, not so long ago in the course of the press-conference the
representative of the Ministry of Trade and Economic Development
announced that the rise of gas tariff will bring to the growth
of the cement prime cost for 15%, which, ion its turn, can cause
incompatibility of this type of product in the international
market.
