Today the Chairman of the party “Democratic Way” Manuk Gasparian sued
the Committee Regulating Public Services. Let us remind you that he
promised to do it on March 10 when the Committee upheld the claim of
“ArmRusGasArd” in connection with the gas price increase.

Today the party “Democratic Way” appealed to the Court of First
Instance of Kentron and Nork – Marash communities demanding to annul
the resolution 29 of March 10 according to which the gas price became
90 thousand AMD per 1000 sq. meter for ordinary users and 146.5USD
for enterprises. Manuk Gasparian states that the Committee increased
the gas price on the basis of the agreement made with “GasExport,”
but it is not known yet whether that organization will be able to
provide the whole volume of consumption, besides, the negotiations with
“”Gas Export are still continuing.

Gasparian also claims that the decision of the Committee is not
warranted and it contradicts the law on energy and violates the rights
of natural gas users.

Manuk Gasparian mentions that the gas price became 24AMD higher for
people than for enterprises. Manuk Gasparian claims to fix equal
prices for everybody taking into account the average price. The case
will be heard by the judge Edik Avetisian.
