GROWING GAS BILL AND SURRENDER OF SYUNIK
All the elections are behind, and Serzh Sargsyan can set to resolve the
most knotty problems, primarily the issue of his predecessors Robert
Kocharyan and Levon Ter-Petrosyan. They can do it by inviting the
PAP and the ANC to the coalition and becoming the "great peacekeeper"
and father of the "presidential troika".
Nevertheless, this is not the most knotty issue. There are two issues
which will cause a lot of trouble. One is the growing price of gas.
The prime minister of Karabakh Ara Harutiunyan said, for example,
that the gas price will soon grow by 40%. And it is better to build
small water power plants or get timber from the forest.
It is not known how Serzh Sargsyan will justify the growth of price
but it is obvious that the growing bills will cause social protest.
The second issue is the pastures of Syunik region. So far Serzh
Sargsyan has not commented on the signed agreement to lease pastures to
Iran. By the way, his parents come from this region. The agreement has
not been refuted which means that the agreement has been signed and
they are waiting for a convenient opportunity to explain everything
to the society.
It is possible that they will announce about gas bills and Syunik
pastures on Friday evening to have tension mitigate by Monday.
After the outrageous election of the Council of Elders where the
PAP and RPA won harming the dignity of people without hesitation,
these parties will hardly feel a shame for the growing bill or the
lease of the lands of Syunik region. They have gone beyond the limits
of cynicism.
These two issues have been postponed until after the election because
they may inflict public complaint. However, the authorities will
not succeed imposing it onto the society easily. Powerful hotbeds
of organized protest are forming in the country. Most importantly,
village people roll into the gorge the pipes intended for building
a water power plant which the village does not need.
If the Iranian sheep nevertheless appear in Syunik, which is possible
as long politicians are sleeping, their livestock may decrease.
