We contacted everyone and cautioned them \u2014\u00a0 to avoid violations as much as possible these days,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Journalists pointed out that, nevertheless, there have been price increases, citing in particular the price of eggs which went up from 60 to 65 drams per egg (equivalent to $0.16 to $0.17 USD) \u2014 that is, about a 10% increase.<\/p>\n<p>Shaboyan, however, asserted that the cost of one egg is not 65 but 62 drams, which cannot be considered a significant price increase.
