YEREVAN. - Not solely the Government of Armenia, but also the
ArmRusGazprom Company-which is the country's natural gas transport
operator-should bear the burden of the forthcoming rise in the price
of the Russian gas being supplied to Armenia.
Union of Manufacturers and Businessmen of Armenia Executive Director,
economist Gagik Makaryan said the abovementioned during a press
conference on Friday, commenting on the gas price hike that will go
into effect in Armenia on July 1.
"The Government of Armenia pledges to subsidize the price increase.
But why is the gas operator not bearing a part of the burden? The
state resources are not limitless," Makaryan said.
As for the business, according to the economist, each employer must
be informed of the external factors, especially about a rise in the
price of gas.
"They should have promptly informed about the plans to raise [the]
gas [prices]," Gagik Makaryan added.
