YEREVAN, MARCH 7, NOYAN TAPAN. The tariff for natural gas imported
from Russia should make for the population maximum 70-75 thousand
drams (about 160 USD) for 1000 cubic meters. RA MP Manuk Gasparian,
Chairman of the Democratic Way party, expressed such an opinion in
his March 7 interview to journalists.
The MP promised to put down his mandate if they prove to him that the
tariff proposed by ArmRusgasprom is economically grounded. According
to him, this tariff, 108 thousand drams, is based on arbitrary
calculations.
M.Gasparian said that it's not accidental that the tariff proposed
for industrial enterprises is mentioned in dollars, 145 USD, amd the
tariff envisaged for the population by drams. According to him, in
case of calculation in dollars the tariff for the population will
make 240 USD or more by 95 USD than the tariff envisaged by the
enterprises. Whereas, in the volume of gas consumption only 10-13%
falls to the population.
M.Gasparian informed that RA Public Services Regulatory Commission
that will examine ArmRusgasprom's bid on March 10, expressed readiness
to give him all documents connected with tariff calculations.
