    DASHNAKTSUTIUN MANEUVRING BETWEEN POWER PLANT AND GAS PIPELINE

    Lragir.am
    05.04.2006

    The government of Armenia has not answered the question how close to
    the rumors on transferring the fifth generating unit of the Thermal
    Power Plant of Hrazdan or 45 per cent of the Iran-Armenia pipeline
    to Russia are reality. This helps the political forces of Armenia,
    including the national political forces to avoid expressing an
    opinion on another attempts of "property exchange" with Russia. This
    opportunity was used by the leader of the faction of the Armenian
    Revolutionary Federation Levon Mkrtichyan as well, whom the reporter
    of the Lragir.am asked to express opinion about the possible deal.

    "When these rumors are confirmed or refuted, we will express our
    opinion," answered Levon Mkrtichyan. But he does not seem to mind
    this exchange, at least the leader of the political force viewed
    the problem on an economic plane, underlining the pipeline and the
    thermal power plant from the very beginning.

    "You know the problem is the following if it is a question of
    investment. If we cannot build the thermal plant for years on,
    and now the opportunity arises, it is important what type of a
    business project it is. It does not matter if Iran, Russia or the
    United States builds it. It is a problem, as such. Let us not forget
    that the other four generating units belong to Russia, and we cannot
    manage to build the fifth generating unit this year, if you remember,"
    said Levon Mkrtichyan. He has a similar opinion about transferring
    the shares of the gas pipeline to Russia. That is, he also thinks
    that everything depends on the manner. "One should know for sure to
    be able to comment," declined to comment Levon Mkrtichyan.
