OUTRAGEOUS PICTURE IS REVEALED

There is no good news in the report of the ad hoc committee on gas
while there is a lot of bad news, said Member of Parliament Nikol
Pashinyan today, noting that the worst news is that Armenian consumers
have to pay 20 million dollars annually for the lost gas.
Every year 127 million cubic meters of gas is lost in the gas supply
system, and ordinary citizens pay for the gas. "The report of the
ad hoc committee informs that though the losses are big, since 2012
no investment has been made to cut the losses. If no investments are
made to cut losses, then some people benefit from them, they flow to
someone's pocket," Pashinyan says.
The committee has found out that the gas bill includes the price of
plants and pictures bought for the offices of Gazprom Armenia.
"I am asking Mr. Aivazyan why they charge the money of flowers and
picture to us and he says, ok, it's in Armavir, it's just 1.5 million
drams. Mr. Aivazyan, what is this if not robbery? When we say that
the Armenian government is robbing people, we don't mean that Serzh
Sargsyan and Hovik Abrahamyan break into our homes, lift our sofas from
both side, load onto the trucks with the help of Young Republicans
and take them away, as well as our TVs, wardrobes, cookers. Robbery
is when 650 thousand consumers are each charged 200 drams for meter
service, 300 drams for the loss, 1.5 million drams for flowers and
what not only in Armavir region," the member of parliament says.
The member of parliament says the issue of acquisition of 20% of
shares is an important issue. "We are saying that there is a law on
privatization which states how state property is to be sold. You sold
[the shares] bypassing the law. Aivazyan says instead you know for how
much more than its actual price we sold it. It's the same as making
someone take off his trousers and sell them. The trousers cost 50 AMD,
you sold it for 300 drams, but the man is left without trousers, and
no matter how expensive you sold it, it is not a comfort," he states.
The member of parliament said that the price of gas went up in the
result of gasification of villages. He notes that they vowed free of
charge gasification of villages during the elections, people voted
for them, then they charged people double and triple.
"In addition, they did not return the money to the treasury. They
built on money from the treasury and redirected to their own pockets
through the losses. When those nominees for parliament vow to gasify
your village, this is the result. Now they have gasified the villages
but gas has got so expensive that people have to heat their houses
on compost," he said.
Nikol Pashinyan announced that Serzh Sargsyan and Hovik Abrahamyan
know whatever this committee has somehow conveyed between the lines and
they personally manage the entire process which is called corruption.
"And finally let's acknowledge that not a dram, not a cent will
move in Armenia without Serzh Sargsyan's knowledge and approval,"
Pashinyan stated.
