Levon Zurabyan `Agreement for the increase of gas price was signed months ago'
Fri, 05/24/2013 - 21:19
The agreement with the Russia side for the gas supplies with the new
tariff agreement was signed at least before April 1. This information
was intentionally hidden from the public as Armenian was going through
pre-election campaign. During May 24 briefing such an opinion was
expressed by the head of `Armenian National Congress' parliamentarian
fraction Levon Zurabyan.
As an explanation, he said that during the discussion of the rise of
gas price at the National Assembly the head of the Public Services
Regulatory Commission Robert Nazaryan presented "sensational
information", according to which the Commission received the bid about
the increase of the prices on May 13, and the attached contract said
that the tariff entered into force on April 1.
Opposition MP did not exclude that the authorities were informed about
the new tariff earlier, prior to the presidential elections, and they
"have done manipulation", which means "falsified presidential and
Yerevan municipal election, and shall be held responsible for that'.
L.Zurabyan, in particular, recalled that on October 24 last year, the
government planned to sell its 20 percent share to `ArmRusGazProm' for
63 billion AMD, so that it is able to keep the price until April 1,
but ANK raised the noise, and the decision was reviewed. According to
him, there are "very good grounds" to declare that the agreement was
`already signed' on October 24, or `at least there was an agreement
with the Russian side'.
