Carrefeur and Armenia’s misery
Commenting on the opening of the French hypermarket Carrefeur in Yerevan, "168 zham" says that the enthusiasm it provoked in the public and political circle rally demonstrates the level of misery in the country.
Hadn’t Armenia scrapped its Association Agreement with the EU to join the Russia-led Eurasian Economic Union, the presence of such prominent brands in the country would be treated as something usual, not an unprecedented event, says the paper, adding that the association deal would further contribute to the country’s Europeanization and integration into different European economic institutions.
“Armenia lost the chance; hence now, we cannot now but be so enthusiastic about such a business’ presence anid the Euarasianization process,” the paper comments.
