ArmInfo. The State Revenues Committee of Armenia  under  the Government of the Republic of Armenia   delivered  clarifications on National Assemly law maker Nicol Pashinyan regarding his tatetment claiming that  " in six months new government could not cancel the bananas importing monopoly"

 "The State Revenues Committee  considers necessary to clarify once again that  there is no monopoly in the bananas importing sector in Armenia". During 2016, the bananas import in Armenia  has been operated by 48 companies and private entrepreneurs," the Committee statement reads. .

Besides, it is mentioned that if this data is inconclusive and Pashinyan has any information about monopolies, Committee is ready to discuss those and to share the information with public."The Committee is open for any kind of cooperation and keeps monitoring  bananas and other goods  import  within  the purpose to secure  natural processes in import," the Committee statement reads. 

To remind,  on January 21 2017, Pashinyan noted that he has realized why the Prime Minister and his government cannot eradicate monopoly in imports of bananas for 6  months already. "This is because not Mihran Petrosyan owns the  monopoly of bananas import and not Samvel Alexanyan owns sugar monopoly Serzh Sargsyan personally owns them and he organized the  elections to keep these monopolies", the politician stated  ironically. He also added that in case of victory the bloc will solve  this issue in 47 minutes.
