`We'll not pay taxes if you raise the price of gas'
People are protesting against rise of the gas bill. Members of
Parliament Artsvik Minasyan and Armen Rustamyan, members of Barev
Yerevan Alliance Gagik Baghdasaryan and Arthur Ispiryan have joined
the other participants in front of the house of government.
The citizens of Armenia are holding up posters stating `Rising gas
price will turn into removal of the regime', `ARG+RPA=genocide',
`We'll not pay taxes if you raise the price of gas'.
Armen Poghosyan of the Association of Consumers said if the gas price
increased, the state budget will be shattered because inflation will
affect other branches of economy.
Member of Parliament Artsvik Minasyan says this is protest against the
policy conducted in Armenia. `The depression with which the Armenian
government handles the gas price shows that our authorities not only
fail to conduct an appropriate policy but are also unable to realize,
understand that Armenia as a state and its people as a society will
not get anywhere with this policy. The purpose of this policy is to
make the authorities, the government, the president and the political
majority, understand their responsibility rather than sit in the
offices and enjoy people's votes,' Minasyan said.
According to him, there are serious problems in all the branches of
economy of Armenia but these problems are not understood by the
government.
`If the Armenian government does not have the will to resist to the
behavior of the Russian strategic partner, it means there is no
strategic partnership. This is a relation of master and slave. As you
know, history showed that these relations have nothing in common with
strategic partnership, only pressure,' the member of parliament of ARF
says, noting that the government must resign if it is unable to
resist.
The government's representative Alexander Ghazaryan listened to the
demonstrators and said their demands are in line with the point of
view of the government because the government does not want the price
to rise.
The participants of the protest are going to hand a letter to the
prime minister.
