Yerevan /Mediamax/. There is significant discrepancy between the recent statements of the leadership of “Star” supermarket chain and the evidences of the buyers.

According to the latest statement by “Star”, received by Mediamax, CEO of the chain Vahan Qerobyan stated that prices were increased in the stores only for sugar and imported butter, within the range of 10-12%. He also noted that the efforts of the chain leadership would be directed to containment of price growth, and “we are ready to inform the society on our steps”.

Receiving signals from citizens, according to which in reality the prices in “Star” stores have increased for many goods, Mediamax reporter visited one of the chain stores, located in New Nork this morning.

Here it turned out that, for instance, the price tag for Taft styling mousse indicates a price of 1070 AMD, however, at the checkout counter, new price at the sum of 1680 AMD is registered. Thus, the growth of price for the given particular good has made over 60%.
