ARKA
Oct 23, 2009
YEREVAN, October 23. /ARKA/. Armenian antitrust institutions are
ineffective, Armen Harutyunyan, the country’s ombudsman, said at a
press conference on Friday.
"Antitrust institutions in Armenia carry a formal character, and
consumers’ rights are absolutely not protected here," he said.
Harutyunyan thinks that institutional reforms are needed for solving
this problem.
He said that all the sectors of the national economy were monopolized.
The ombudsman said that this problem removal is not connected with
outside factors, and the only thing needed for ridding the country
of it is a good will.
