If you’re a reporter like me, trying to find MP Samvel Aleksanyan seems like an unobtainable task. I’ve been trying to track down the elusive MP for about one month now to no avail. He’s never answered any of my innumerable phone calls. That is till today. He probable was in a factory when he deemed to answer. There was the rattling of bottles in the background; most likely vodka bottles. I asked the MP what type of problems he was having with the Committee for the Protection of Economic Competitiveness and why it was that he had been fined so often by the state body. "I don’t know. Geez, you would have to ask them," said the MP "Are you saying there are no problems with the Committee?" I queried. "No. I’m just engaged in my work." I then pointed out that the company Aleks Grig, owned by MP Aleksanyan, had been fined on several occasions for bottling vodka in bottles that closely resemble Ukrainian varieties and that consumers might be confused when making a choice at the store. "Now, you’re changing the subject. There’s no fraud being perpetrated," the MP retorted. Readers will be reminded that Ukraine’s former ambassador complained to the Economics Committee last year about the vodka bottles being churned out by the MP’s company. The Committee looked into the matter and found out that the company was producing several brands of vodka but that the brand names weren’t registered to Saleks Group, the name of the company at the time. Te Committee found the company in violation of "unfair competition’ and fined the company 500,000 AMD.
