Initiative group to dispute increased gas prices in court
02:02 pm | Today | Social
"Let's prevent the hike in natural gas tariffs" initiative group is
calling for public disobedience.
Civil initiative activist Silva Adamyan says she has worked at
ArmRusGasProm for seven years and knows how the company is trying to
deceive its customers.
"Employees of ArmRusGasProm will look in and persuade you to sign an
agreement with the company, thereby receiving your consent to the
increased gas prices," she said advising people not sign the
agreement.
Andrias Ghukasyan, another member of the initiative, says the society
showed a neutral stance on the issue , with no political party
reacting to the gas price hike.
"After the election, our citizens are disappointed with the struggle
against the acting regime. Many of them are considering the
possibility of migration," he said.
Asked why they did not join the Armenian National Congress when the
latter was struggling against the gas price increase, Mr Ghukasyan
said, "I welcomed their move but the political domain was paralyzed
then. However, our deputies did not express a clear stance at that
time either."
Activist Ani Kaghinyan says that she has personally invited opposition
forces to join their action. "No one has responded to this moment. Our
working team of eight is currently working alone. Next week, we are
going to appeal to the Administrative Court against the increased gas
prices."
Armenia's Public Services Regulatory Commission decided on Friday to
set the gas price at AMD 156 per cubic meter against AMD 132 for users
consuming less than 10,000 cubic meters.
