    LEVON ZURABYAN ON AD HOC COMMITTEE ON GAS: PARLIAMENTARY MAJORITY PILING UP ISSUES TO WASH OUT THE MAJOR PROBLEM

    The parliamentary majority represented by the Republican Party has
    no intention to settle the problems in the gas and transport systems.

    Setting up an ad hoc committee on gas issues, the ruling Republican
    Party of Armenia just piling up issues to wash out the major problem,
    Levon Zurabyan, Head of the Armenian National Congress Faction,
    said in the Parliament, Tuesday.

    "You have regularly refused to study the provisions of the gas
    agreements with Russia. You just do not want to enter a field where
    you are very weak. Your actions depend on your fear of Russia. You
    are afraid to raise issues that may spoil your relations with Moscow,"
    Zurabyan said addressing the Republicans.

    He is sure that the public protests and the committee could be used
    as an important instrument in the negotiations for revision of the
    agreements. ANC and other non-governmental forces demand transparent
    activity and open meetings of the ad hoc committee. Meanwhile, the
    parliamentary majority is against the idea of open meetings of the
    committee, Zurabyan said.

    To recall, the agreement with Russia, particularly the increased gas
    tariff for Armenian consumers and transfer of the Government's 20%
    in ArmRusgasprom Company to Russia in exchange for a debt sparked
    public outrage in the country.
