RA authorities not concerned over possible sale of Armenia-bound gas pipeline
Armenian Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Armen Movsisyan said
that the RA authorities are not concerned over the possible purchase
of Armenia-bound gas pipeline by another country, including
Azerbaijan.
Georgia has not announced the intention to sell the pipeline yet. It
has only been withdrawn from the list of strategic properties
privatization of which is forbidden, Movsisyan told journalists on
July 14.
Anyway, even if the pipeline is offered for sale, our country will not
face any shocking situation, he added.
Meanwhile, Georgian media reports say that Free Democrats opposition
party of Georgia headed by former permanent representative of Georgia
in the UN Irakly Alasania is against the pipeline's withdrawal from
the list of enterprises, privatization of which is forbidden.
According to the party, the sale of the pipeline or a part of its
shares at London Stock Exchange will be an unjustified decision aimed
at solving budgetary problems. Besides, the party has strategic
concerns related to the possible purchase of the pipeline by Russia.
