Businessman, former MP Khachatur Sukiasyan posted a record on his
Facebook page, where he shared his opinion in relation to the rise
in price of gas, electric, range of goods and services.
"The price of gas imported to Armenia, as well as the price of
electricity has significantly risen again. Of course, prices of number
of goods and services will rise (have already increased), in a word,
as they say, "life becomes more expensive again." I note only that
the government should not let the company "ArmRusgasprom" which has
the monopoly in the market, enriches at the expense of people.
I want to draw your attention to another global problem, which,
unfortunately, is almost not reminded. In Armenia, there are no natural
gas and oil reserves, and of our discontent rising of electricity
prices there will not be these stocks. Yes, citizens should demand
government's intervention in the settlement of the energy prices.
But we must bear in mind that energy prices in the international
market have a tendency to increase. So a strategic goal has become
for Armania to develop and implement a strategic program in this area.
Efficient use of energy resources, energy resources, reduction of
heat loss, introduction of energy conservation, alternative energy
sources must become an imperative coming years.
In the name of truth it must be said that Armenia has already conducted
some work in this area, has adopted a law on power management. But this
is not enough. Often ack of funds is given as a justification for the
problem. However, a properly thought-out price and tariff policy in
this area can provide a large influx of private investment. Investments
can be carried out both in the industrial and community sectors.
Look, for example, how quickly the structure of small hydroelectric
power stations are realized in Armenia, because investors got clear
and state guarantee, approved by the law. Do not forget that the
country still remains advanced engineering and resources that need
to be engaged in the implementation of the program.
It is necessary to attract the active cooperation of banks and leasing
companies. However, banks do not have much experience in investing
in electrosavings, in risk calculations in this case, but with the
support of national and international institutions, these issues
will be solved step by step. The only important thing to realize
clearly that the growth and welfare of the citizens of the country
can only be achieved by energy efficiency and the introduction of
energy saving technologies. So the energy efficiency of the economy
should be a priority of Armenia's economic strategy," says the record.
