Andreas Ghukasian: Authors of gas deals are lying
Saturday, December 21, 2013
Discussions in the Armenian parliament yesterday showed that the
country's authorities are facing challenges and are unable to
represent the interests of the people, the former presidential
candidate, member of `We will prevent gas price increase' pressure
group Andreas Ghukasian told a press conference today.
`The authorities are lying about the gas deals. A privileged position
was created for Russia's Gazprom in Armenia as early as 2002, while
the sale of 20% of the Armenian government-owned shares of
ArmRosGazprom Company shows that Armenia's assets can be confiscated
and put under a ban outside the country without Armenia's consent,'
Ghukasian said.
Another participant of the press conference, member of the same
pressure group Aram Grigorian said for his part that the gas issue is
not only political as the matter concerns the absence of a management
system in Armenia.
Ratification of the gas agreements signed on December 2 between the
Armenian and Russian governments in Yerevan was discussed at the
special session of the Armenian parliament yesterday. Discussions
lasted into late evening and were postponed until Monday, December 23,
at the suggestion of speaker Hovik Abrahamian.
