Support A1+!“We must be ready for the liberalization of the prices”, said President of the “Armrusgasard” LTD Karen Karapetyan to the journalists during today’s seminar organized in the Tsakhkadzor “Adigas” complex.
Referring to the issue of the world gas supplies Karen Karapetyan foresaw that at this rate they will suffice for another 60 years, “as the demand rises, buy the supplies do not”. According to the speaker, the rise of the gas cost is a usual tendency in the CIS countries: for the last 3 years in Ukraine it has risen for 30%, in Georgia and Azerbaijan – for 15% etc.
“Especially for Armenia which does not have natural gas the people must be ready for the liberalization of the gas cost”, said the President of “Armrusgasard”. According to him, the cost of gas in Armenia is conditioned by the costs in Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan. “Despite this fact we have managed to keep the prices stable for the last 3 years”, mentioned Mr. Karapetyan. Nevertheless, he does not exclude the possibility of the rise of gas costs starting form 2007.
