YEREVAN. – Armenian capital city Yerevan suffers from a chaotic construction of supermarkets.

Armen Poghosyan, Head of the “Consumers Association of Armenia” NGO, noted the aforesaid at Saturday’s press conference, which was devoted to World Consumer Rights Day which is celebrated on March 15.

“Supermarkets and hypermarkets develop in Yerevan, but the development is uncontrollable. It is not planned as to which supermarket will serve which region.

“As a result, the small stores are going bankrupt, [and] the large ones are beginning to dictate their terms to the consumers,” Poghosyan stated.

To note, the supermarkets’ impact on traffic likewise needs consideration.
