The Armenian authorities hit below the belt of the people when they
sank the fact of the gas tariff growth, deputy chairman of the
Heritage party board, Armen Martirosyan, told Arminfo correspondent.
He thinks that raising of the gas tariff will result in social
catastrophe, as the atmosphere in the country is rather tense after
the last election with mass fraud. "Of course, it is not accidental
that "ArmRusgasprom" applied to the Public Services Regulatory
Commission just after the election. The authorities knew that raising
of the gas tariff before the election would make obstacles on the way
of their reproduction. That was an action thoroughly planned by the
Armenian authorities", - Martirosyan said.
He also added that it does not matter if gas tariff will grow by 64%
or 50%, it will have extremely negative consequences and will become
an impetus for migration of population.
To recall, CJSC "ArmRusgasprom" and its subsidiary "Transgas" applied
to the Public Services Regulatory Commission with an offer to revise
gas tariff, and raise it from the present 132 drams for 1 sq/m of gas
up to 221 drams.
