Ex-PM Advises Government Not To Interfere With Gas Pricing
During the discussion of the program of government Member of
Parliament Hrant Bagratyan, ANC, called Tigran Sargsyan and the
cabinet not to interfere with the pricing of gas.
`The government only makes gas expensive. By drawing the attention of
the public to the border you are confusing us, saying that Armenia
buys gas at the cheapest price,' Bagratyan said.
He noted that gas supplied to Armenia is not cheap, and gas price is
boosted due to 96% gas supply coverage of villages. Bagratyan also
said that the government's analytical skills are weak.
Prime Minister Sargsyan said during the parliamentary hearing on the
gas price it will be presented in detail how the gas price is formed.
According to the prime minister, it is the mandate of the Public
Services Regulatory Commission, and their experts will explain how the
price is formed.
The prime minister said Belarus buys gas at the cheapest price. `The
Armenian side is negotiating over mechanisms of how Armenia could get
assistance from them to make sure that the levy of 30% is not applied
to Armenia,' the prime minister said.
In answer to Bagratyan's proposal on setting up a cooperative of gas
consumers Tigran Sargsyan said he would assign the minister of energy
and natural resources to discuss this issue with Hrant Bagratyan.
