    Dozens of people have gathered in front of Armenia's government in
    protest at the Armrusgasprom Company's intention to raise the gas
    price.

    Among the participants are Armen Rustamyan, a member of the Armenian
    Revolutionary Federation Dashnaktsutyun (ARF-D) Gagik Baghdasaryan, a
    member of the Barev, Yerevan (Hello, Yerevan) bloc, Armen Poghosyan,
    Chairman of the Union of Consumers of Armenia, environmentalists.

    The protesters are holding placards reading `Raising gas price in
    Secure Armenia - what for?' `Armrusgasprom + RPA = love' `We want the
    light of our nuclear-power plant' `Gas price rise will usher in
    collapse of ruling regime'.

    The Facebook initiative `To prevent gas price rise' calls on Armenia's
    citizens to unite and gather in front of the government on Thursday to
    protest Armrusgasprom's intention.

    letter to Alexander Ghazaryan, Head of the Application Department.

    neighborhood, but found out that their flats are mortgaged to
