YEREVAN. - Armenian farmers held a protest action near the building of state government on Monday demanding equal competition.

They are confident that goods imported from Turkey are too inexpensive, while local goods remain unsold due to relatively high prices.

The protestors, mainly farmers engaged in growing tomatoes, assured their tomatoes are more expensive as they have to pay for gas used for operating greenhouses.

Head of the Armenian government staff David Sargsyan met with the farmers and promised to inform them about the steps the government will undertake to solve the problem in the near future.
