When speaking to us yesterday the president of the RA Economic Competition Protection Committee, Ashot Shahnazaryan said that the abrupt price shift of sugar on October 22-23 was aimed at creating “confusion and some people succeeded in it”. But he didn’t give details on who “these people” are. “I don’t know. I am not the head of the NSS to say, who these people are,” Shahnazaryan said. “I have personally heard of that in the store. The sales staff was saying the prices are going up. So you just buy those.” And so, according to Shahnazaryan the owners of all stores started to raise the sugar price at their stores. According to him the committee hasn’t found out, who this confusion was initiated by. “We haven’t conducted inspections because it was prevented within 12-15 hours,” he said. In these conditions no one can exclude that such things won’t be repeated again. Some people might thing about creating such rumors to receive excessive incomes. And the committee still believes that the confusion was created by retail shops. In fact all those attempts were “petty” services for large businesses. More exactly to say these services were made for importer NA MA Samvel Alexanyan.
