POSTANJIAN: RUSSIA MAY DECIDE TO SELL SHARES TO TURKEY AND AZERBAIJAN
During the Armenian parliament's special session held today on the
initiative of the government, the secretary of ARFD faction Aghvan
Vardanian asked Energy and Natural Resources Armen Movsisian what
awaits Armenia after the agreement on sale of ArmRosGazprom Company's
shares enters into force.
"Will there be any possibility to conduct negotiations with Iran for
purchasing gas at a lower price?" the ARFD deputy asked.
The minister replied that the agreement does not envisage any
restrictions in the event that a country offers to sign a contract
on more favorable terms. In his words, in this case a new agreement
with another state will be in force.
The secretary of Heritage parliamentary faction Ms. Zaruhi Postanjian
asked the energy minister what will happen if Russia decides to sell
its shares to Turkey and Azerbaijan.
Armen Movsesian said: "They cannot sell shares without our consent".
Let us remind you that three gas agreements with Russia are being
discussed at the special session of the parliament today.
The parliament is expected to ratify the agreement on the purchase
and sale of shares of ArmRosGazprom CJSC and the terms of its further
activities, the agreement on the price formation order in case of
natural gas delivery to Armenia, and the agreement on cooperation on
the supply of gas, oil products and rough diamonds to Armenia. The
agreements were signed by the Armenian and Russian governments in
Yerevan on December 2.
