YEREVAN. – The Carrefour trade chain has the best modern equipment and is second in the world in terms of quality and affordability,  Armenian Consumers' Association Chairman Armen Poghosyan told reporters.

The Armenian consumers will benefit from Carrefour opening, Poghosyan said, at the same time noting impact on small and medium stores.

“I am inclined to assess Carrefour opening as a positive event, as France and Armenia are friendly states, and French investments will lead to positive results,” he assured.

Activities of Carrefour will promote competition, and competition always leads to cheaper prices, Poghosyan added. 

An initial lease agreement between Yerevan Mall and the world-renowned French Carrefour hypermarket chain was signed during French President's visit to Armenia.
