market, the chairman of the RA Public Services Regulatory Commission
Robert Nazarian told reporters on April 8 that a tender will be
announced by May 1, with its results being summarized by mid August.
R. Nazarian said that in all likelihood the tariffs of public services

submitted by Yerevan Jur company in February. The bid proposes setting
the drinking water tariff at 185.8 drams instead of the current tariff

with Yerevan Jur that even if a decision to increase the tariff is
made as a result of the commission's monitoring, this decision will
be in force during the years, for which the management agreement
envisages a reduction in the tariff.
R. Nazarian informed reporters that no company providing public
services has submiited a bid on reviewing its current tariffs to
the commission.
