Cheese producing small and medium entrepreneurs were the target of recent scandalous discoveries. By the assignment of the Prime Minister, the State Food Security Service made research in the sphere of cheese and found out that the production of 18 subjects out of 59 producing cheese does not meet the requirements. A decision was made to stop their activities.

Official bodies announced many times that they should foster the development of small and medium businesses in the country, support the entrepreneurs, contribute to making the production of the latter be competitive in the local market.

Assisting and guiding was directly perceived by the RA Minister of Agriculture, who months ago visited the village people to explain how to wash the cow before milking it etc. The honorable official did not however ask whether the villagers had water or they still prepare food for their children with the irrigation water.

The statement of the Head of the State Food Security Service Abram Bakhchagulyan about revealing intestine bacteria in the cheese was followed by the statement of the doctors that intestine bacteria is present both in animals and in people. It is located in the large bowel and assists to the metabolism.

‘It is destroyed in a short period of time under the influence of the environment and during thermal processing. The cheese is preserved in salty water for 40 days after which it is sold. Even if there is an intestine bacterium inside the cheese, it will be destroyed during that time’ informs the doctor Alfred Babayan.

However, for those who were fined it is not important anymore. As the head of the State Food Security Service Abram Bakhchagulyan informs 5,5 tones of cheese was destroyed, the total amount of fines imposed on entrepreneurial subjects made 10 million 450 thousand AMD.

Once again small and medium businesses fell under the state truncheon blow and large businesses ‘do not have such kind of problems’, as the Head of the State Food Security Service A. Bakhchagulyan informs.

‘The only objective is to oppress small businesses. A while ago the news about bird flu were spread, that the chickens are sick, do not buy eggs, whereas sick chickens cannot give eggs. Many private entrepreneurs suffered a loss at that time, their businesses closed down. The news about swine plague was also aimed at oppressing small businesses, in order to sell the imported pork’ says a doctor, the President of the Branch Union of the Confederation of Trade Unions of the RA Alfred Babayan.

Is it another lapse or a result of a poor examination of international experience, which rather results in oppressing small and medium businesses than contributes to the development of the economy?
