MP Manuk Gasparyan stated April 11 that he is going to appeal to the
Constitutional Court against the deal of selling the fifth generating
unit of the Thermal Power Plant of Hrazdan to Russia. Manuk Gasparyan
says it is a criminal bargain, attacking the country's interests.
The member of parliament is convinced that the government of Armenia
has already sold the Iran-Armenia gas pipeline to Russia. Manuk
Gasparyan believes that the pipeline is the core of this deal.
His argument is the information on the official website of Gasprom.
The Russian company first announced about buying the gas pipeline,
then rephrased the sentence. Particularly, Gasprom announced about
buying the fifth generating unit of the Thermal Power Plant of Hrazdan
and other objects of the gas sector of Armenia.
"You see they artfully concealed it but the Iran-Armenia gas pipeline
was included in that deal. They simply hid the name. It is there by
hundred per cent. Besides, they will give the hydropower plant on
Arax to Iran to calm Iran," says Manuk Gasparyan.
He also mentions that after the fifth generating unit of the Thermal
Power Plant of Hrazdan is transferred to Gasprom the latter will have
82 per cent of shares of Armrusgasard instead of the former 45 per
cent. Hence, Armenia loses 25 per cent of shares and the right to veto.
Manuk Gasparyan also states that the Armenian leadership accepted a
bribe from Russia, that is a sum much over the price of these objects.
