YEREVAN.- Armenian government welcomes Carrefour Group’s entering Armenian market, Premier Tigran Sargsyan told reporters in parliament on Wednesday.

However, the deal is hampered by a memorandum signed with one of Armenia’s private companies. The companies have controversy on the memo.

“They must work to find an acceptable solution,” he said. Premier also assured Carrefour has not demanded preferences.

Most likely, Carrefour has problems with Tashir Group. The chain supposedly had to open a supermarket in Dalma Garden Mall belonging to Tashir.
