L’organisme de contrôle de l’Etat armenien s’est engage mercredi
a enqueter sur l’augmentation du prix du sucre au detail qui va
faire augmenter par consequent le coût de la vie dans le pays ainsi
qu’entraver les efforts du gouvernement pour contrôler l’inflation. Le
prix du sucre a augmente de plus de 20%.

La Commission d’Etat pour la protection de la concurrence economique
(SCPEC) a exige des explications formelles de la societe Aleks-Grig qui
jouit d’un quasi-monopole sur les importations de sucre vers l’Armenie.

” Ils doivent fournir tous les documents qui indiquent quel est
son prix d’achat a l’etranger, d’où le sucre provient, quels sont
les taux de douane appliques et quel est le prix du sucre dans les
supermarches locaux “, a annonce le porte-parole du SCPEC Gayane
Sahakian lors d’une interview accordee a RFE/RL.

Un kilogramme de sucre coûtait en moyenne 440 drams ($1,2)dans les
supermarches et dans les magazins alimentaires a Erevan mercredi,
contre environ 350 drams il y a deux jours.

Samuel Aleksanian, un riche homme d’affaires auquel appartient
Aleks-Grig, a mis en cause des facteurs externes a la hausse du prix
du sucre. Il a affirme que le prix des denrees alimentaires est monte
en flèche sur les marches internationaux cette annee.

Sahakian exige qu’Aleks-Grig prouve cette affirmation dans un rapport
qu’il doit rendre dans les dix jours qui viennent. Le SCPEC examinera
alors les documents et decidera si la societe a viole la loi dite ”
anti-trust ” armenienne.

La population est la première touchee par la hausse des prix. Elle
a deja subi la hausse des prix a la consommation depuis 2009.

” Les ventes de sucre ont deja baisse car la population manque d’argent
“, a declare un commercant a Erevan.

Dans une recente interview a RFE/RL, le premier ministre Tigran
Sarkissian a reconnu que le taux d’inflation resulte non seulement de
facteurs exterieurs mais aussi d’un manque de concurrence au niveau
des produits d’importation des produits de base, du carburant et
d’autres marchandises.

Les importations lucratives sont contrôlees par Aleks-Grig et par
une poignee d’autres societes qui ont des liens etroits avec le
gouvernement. Sarkissian a maintes fois promis d’en finir avec ces
” oligopoles “.

Plus tôt cette annee, le parlement armenien a approuve un projet de
loi gouvernemental qui donnerait davantage de pouvoirs au SCPEC et
qui permettrait d’accroître des sanctions financières pour lutter
contre une concurrence commerciale deloyale.

L’importation du sucre en Armenie est considerable. Elle aurait dû
etre attenuee grâce a la construction d’une raffinerie dans la region
de Shirak au nord-ouest en 2009. Le magnat Aleksanian a affirme qu’il
avait investi envrion 100 millions de dollars pour cette nouvelle
installation supervisee par le president Serge Sarkissian l’annee
dernière. A l’heure actuelle, il n’est pas certain que l’usine
fonctionne.

BAKU: ‘Armenians Misappropriated Georgian Churches Centuries Ago’

‘ARMENIANS MISAPPROPRIATED GEORGIAN CHURCHES CENTURIES AGO’

No Georgian will ever enter the Armenian Church.

According to Armenian mass media, on 19 August two young men in
a drunken state entered ‘the Armenian church Surb Echmiadzin in
the region of Avlabar (Georgia), where they behaved impudently and
without respect”.

“I don’t know what really happened there, but I have to note that
there are no Armenian churches at all in Georgia. A few centuries ago
Armenian misappropriated Georgian churches”, 1news.az reports citing
Georgian historian, professor of the Sukhumi state university Guram
Markhuliya. He commented on the information in Armenian mass media
which stated that an act of vandalism occurred in Georgia against
Armenian church”.

“I assure you that no Georgian will ever enter the Armenian Church.

First, Armenians do not pray in churches, for them it is a place
for meetings and conversations. For then, a church is a place for
communication, rather than prayers. Therefore, it seems that drunken
Armenians entered the indicated church, where they committed those
acts of vandalism”, he said.

According to the Georgian historian, by spreading such information,
Armenians are trying to draw attention to themselves and show the
world community that Georgians allegedly behave improperly and
discriminate Armenians.

“The more they speak against Georgia, the more they get money from
abroad. It is a definite order. Such information is often posted
on Armenian websites. Georgian public does not pay attention to it
anymore”, Guram Markhuliya said.

Conference dedicated to Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict over
Nagorno-Karabakh held at the Italian Institute of International
Affairs.

Armenia must return territories of Azerbaijan it occupied, and give
up its aggressive policy, said speakers of the conference dedicated
to Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh held at the
Italian Institute of International Affairs.

The event entitled “future of negotiations over Nagorno-Karabakh”
brought together a number of professors, including head of the
institute Ettore Greco and deputy director Nathalie Tocci and others.

The speakers stressed the fact that the aggressive policy of Armenia
against Azerbaijan displaced over a million of Azerbaijanis from
their homes.

They condemned Armenia`s shattering ceasefire frequently, and
destroying cultural and historic monuments, which is contrary to
international legal norms and principles.

ANKARA: Gov’T To Lend Financial Support To Minority Newspapers

GOV’T TO LEND FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO MINORITY NEWSPAPERS

Turkey

Newspapers run by minority groups in Turkey that have been struggling
with finances will be receiving immediate financial support from
the government.

The Press Bulletin Authority (BÄ°K) has pledged TL 250,000 from
a special fund to be given to minority newspapers as a temporary
solution to help them stay afloat before a new amendment is made to
Decision No. 67 of the BÄ°K General Council, which currently prohibits
such newspapers from publishing official advertisements.

A new proposal floated during an official meeting of the executive
board of BÄ°K on Aug. 16 suggests supporting newspapers published by
Greek, Armenian and Jewish minorities in Turkey by allowing them to
publish official advertisements. The proposal will be put into force
after amendments are made to BÄ°K’s Decision 67.

Newspapers that have been published by Greek, Armenian and Jewish
communities for at least 10 years in their own languages or in Turkish
will be able to benefit from the government assistance. There are
six newspapers in Turkey that meet these criteria — Apoyevmatini,
Ä°ho, Agos, Å~^alom, Jamanak and Nor Marmara.

The proposal comes after Mehmet Atalay, the general director of
BÄ°K, held a meeting on July 26 with representatives and editors
of newspapers published by minority groups to discuss the ongoing
problems faced by minority publications and to come up with a solution.

Following the meeting Atalay set to work on a new regulation concerning
the legal requirements that must be met by minority newspapers before
they are eligible for assistance from BÄ°K, an autonomous organization
that distributes official advertisements to national and local press
institutions. Minority publications, currently, are not allowed to
publish official advertisements due to an existing regulation on
press advertising.

Most minority newspapers published in Turkey have been at a
disadvantage in terms of state support and have not been represented
as fully as other newspapers by journalists’ organizations.

Recently, the editor-in-chief of Apoyevmatini announced that he would
have to shut down the newspaper because of financial problems. The
daily has been in publication since 1925 and currently has a
circulation of 600.

When news of its potential closure started circulating in the media,
campaigns were launched by university students to save the newspaper.

BÄ°K got involved in the situation last month to give support to
minority newspapers.
