IT ISN’T JUSTIFIED

The ANM administration made a declaration yesterday.
The current regime takes the progress step of threatening the RA
national security and keeping its own authority pleasing the people
under pretence of reducing gas price. Giving the 5th bloc of the
electric power station of Hrazdan to Russians instead of cheap
gas price for three years isn’t justified either politically, or
economically or socially.
Politically; giving the energy of the country to another state is
nothing else than the loose of one of the most important ground
of independence. Russia itself provides for the majority of state
energy as well as the strategic sphere. 80% of energy power of Armenia
belongs to Russia. By this bargain that percent reaches to 100%.
Economically; the state property is given to Russia by low price and
without any guarantees of working effectively as it was in case of
the famous bargain;”Estate instead of debt”.
The 5th bloc of the electric power station of Hrazdan can pay for
gas price only in 203 years.
Socially’ the interpretation of the regime as if the above mentioned
bargain is made in favor of social interests of the Armenian people
is a deception, no social problem is being solved by it. In reality
the compensatory money will be given to the solvent population of the
country and the oligarchs close to the regime. Everything is done at
the expense of insolvent population.
By the way 248,8 $ million which is foreseen from the bargain of the
5th bloc is sent to a special account of the Ministry of Defense,
which isn’t controlled. This bargain only aims a thing; to avoid of a
possible social revolt and collect enormous uncontrollable financial
resources for providing for the rehabilitation of the current regime
in the coming elections.
