ACTIVIST: "NO CITIZEN SHOULD HAVE TO PAY MORE FOR GAS THAN HE OR SHE RECEIVES AS A PENSION"
Narek Aleksanyan
Civic activist Vardan Hakobyan told reporters today that he has not
come across one government bureaucrat that has publicly questioned
the justification of the level of the proposed gas hike soon to
hit Armenia.
"From the day the issue was raised, various level bureaucrats came
out as defenders of the interests of HayGazRusArd," said the activist
and musician.
Hakobyan added that the Public Services Regulatory Committe also
serves the interests of the government and noted yesterday's public
hearing as proof. He said the Committee tried to wrap up any dissenting
discussion of the issue in just one day, even though there's a three
month time limit.
"Armenia claims to be a country where the social needs of citizens
are insured. In such a country, a citizen should not have to pay more
for gas than he or she receives as a pension," Hakobyan said.
