"If for the purpose of maintaining low gas price for Armenian residents
the RA gives "GazArd" an alternative possibility to import gas to
Armenia, we shall make our children unilaterally dependent of a
foreign country as we don't have any guarantee to maintain the price
theoretically," highlights the Chairman of the Union for National
Self-Determination Paruir Hairikyan.
According to him the rumors about maintaining low gas price are
presented as the authorities' endeavor. "It turns out that the
present authorities want to deprive Armenians the possibility of
having alternative and competitive gas price in the coming decade. It
will be the most harmful blow for the Armenian energy security and
independence," he says.
According to Chairman of the Union for National Self-Determination
the provision of low gas price offered to the consumers will be
thousandfold more expensive than the price increase. "Today we make
our children the hostage of Russian imperialism in order to save
money. They attempt to dull our vigilance through secret agents having
various responsible positions. But it is high time Armenia saw the
secret plot of Russia to turn Armenia into an abandoned land.
It is time Armenia realized their intrigues," says Paruir Hairikyan. In
response to the question whether he means Andranik Margarian while
speaking of secret agents, Hairikyan answered, "If there is only one
man involved I wouldn't name it an agency net."
Paruir Hairikyan admires the "normal behaviour and attitude" of
Georgia and Ukraine in connection with the gas price fourfold increase.
The Armenian consumers will have an opportunity to use Persian gas
in a year. The consumers are to decide the gas of which country to
use. "There will be a free competition, and the gas market price will
logically decrease." Thus, takings into account the national interests
it is more profitable for us to accept the Russian price than to give
our share of the Persian gas in order to ease the situation of the
price increase.
He also adds that nobody sells his milch cow. "They give their milch
cow to their rival. They sell the profitable company; energy is the
only source of our income." Hirikyan was annoyed by the fact that
the RA President could go to "ArmRusGasArd." Even the Prime Minister
mustn't go to any company.
By the way, the Chairman of the USD does not exclude that a strike
will be organized in front of the Government on gas price issue. "They
can oppose us in many questions but no mother will stop thinking of
her children," claimed Hairikyan.
