Zhamanak: Carrefour likely to purchase Yerevan City chain
“Zhamanak” daily writes, citing its sources that the authorities have decided to conduct negotiations with businessman Samvel Alexanian about the sale of Yerevan City supermarket chain owned by him to Carrefour Company, France.
“If the deal goes ahead, it will become a sensational move and a decision implying a sharp change in the authorities’ economic policy. If the authorities really want Carrefour to purchase Samvel Alexanian’s supermarket chain and enter the Armenian market in such a way, it means that they have finally decided to demonstrate political will and break up the monopoly in the import and trade market,” the paper notes.
