YEREVAN. – Armenian Economy Minister said they are waiting for “good news from Carrefour”.

The remark came in response to reporter’s question about opening of the first store of the French supermarket chain.

“For me personally good news means the opening,” Vahram Avanesyan explained.    

Asked why the opening is delayed, Avanesyan said he is not aware of the details but there are no obstacles that cannot be overcome. The Ministry has not been informed about the placement and number of stores yet.

“There is a discussion of technical matters. Anyway, the first moves will be made in the first quarter of 2014,” the Minister added.
