    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.
