“THEY CONFUSE BANANA WITH EGGPLANT”

Yerevan citizens prefer not to do shopping in the streets or from markets since fruit and vegetables are completely frosted and they soften when you get home.
“I bought 2 kg apples yesterday but when I reached home I saw that they were frozen”, complained Margarita Hovhannisyan, who had done the shopping in the market.
Julieta Nahapetyan says that she prefers buying food from stores or supermarkets, since food sold in the streets is not merchantable.
We visited many markets in Yerevan and they all were almost empty, you could hardly see one or two sellers and buyers.
“We are freezing here. We cover fruit and vegetables with blankets, but the goods frozen, besides they are not sold”, said a merchant Lusine Sahakyan.
Some sellers even note that banana peelings have become black from cold and people confuse them with eggplant.
Merchants doubt whether to stay at home or to come to work, since there is no use of coming to work, besides they have to pay taxes.
