Minasian: Armenia does not need strategic partners like Russia
Tuesday,
May 21
`The natural gas supplied to Armenia is not the cheapest in the
region. This is nonsense, `the deputy of ARF-Dashnaktsutyn
parliamentary faction Artsvik Minasian told reporters today.
In his words, in case of a gas price hike, `no people will remain in
Armenia'. `Russia does not conceal the fact that it uses gas as a
political instrument,' Minasian noted.
According to him, the volume of gas consumed in Armenia is only 2% of
that consumed in CIS. `The gas price increase by Gazprom Company
because of those two percent is a result of unreasonable actions. It
is necessary to nationalize ArmRosGazprom and also to think about
Iranian gas and alternative energy resources,' Artsvik Minasian
stressed.
In his words, `Armenia does not need strategic partners like Russia
because that country's policy contributes to the outflow of population
from Armenia'.
