'200 jobs are Armenia's benefit from Iranian gas'
`It is ArmRosGazprom, rather than Armenia, that receives gas from
Armenia. If Armenia tried to receive gas from Iran, it would encounter
difficulties', former chairman of Central Bank of Armenia Bagrat
Asatrian told Aysor.am. He proposed saying openly that Armenia cannot
buy Iranian gas, the Russian company can do it.
Asked what benefits Armenia gets from receiving Iranian gas and
transmitting electricity to Iran in return for gas, another
participant of the press conference, parliamentary deputy Hakob
Hakobian said: `200 jobs'.
Bagrat Asatrian considered it incomprehensible that the electricity
price has increased by 28-30%, when only one third of the country's
power supply system depends on gas.
According to Hakob Hakobian, depreciation costs were not included in
the current tariffs of electricity. IThe Public Services Regulatory
Commission said that equipment and turbines should be purchased. On
hearing these words of the deputy, Bagrat Asatrian raised his
eyebrows.
