YEREVAN. – The prices of food products in Armenia will start to
increase considerably as of mid-September, Hayatsk daily reports.
“The country’s government did everything, until the [May 6]
parliamentary elections, to prevent the price hike, but ‘the artificial
intervention’ will no longer be possible come mid-September.
Except for vegetables, all remaining food [prices] will rise
drastically. This is also why the Agriculture Ministry is opening
up markets in the capital city to show that the vegetable [prices]
will not rise.
[But] In reality, this tends to divert the people’s attention. Who
will be enthused by the cheap prices of vegetables when the price
hikes begin?” Hayatsk writes.
