ArmInfo. Azerbaijani grown apples sales are prohibited in Armenia.
According to the statement of Food Products Safety State Service, during three days raids the employees of the Service have fetched out the facts of Azerbaijani grown apples sales at Armenian markets. Particularly, such a fact has been fixed at Malatia market in Armenian capital, on Khorenatsi and Leningradyan streets. All the shipment of Azerbaijani apples will be destroyed.
The Food Safety Service informs also that apples were shipped from Poland, Russia, Ukraine, Georgia and Italy. The cargo documents did not state the availability of Azerbaijani product in the roster. However, the cargo shipment has been supported with all the necessary documents to be allowed for entrance to Armenian territory. Due to the reason the cargo shipment with Azerbaijani apples has not passed cross- border check, the Food Service cannot guarantee it's security. The Service calls Armenian nationals to stay off buying Azerbaijani apples, and to make calls on 010 206040 once any facts of those sales are discovered.
