RA Defence Minister Serge Sargsyan considers property in return for
gas tariff bargain favorable.
He compared the 5th power-engineering unit of Hrazdan thermal power
station with three-storied house with only the small cellar built
and asked the correspondents simply to go and see that construction.
“Time will come and we shall bring more figurative and convincing
facts about the cost of the 5th power unit and this step.”
As he said the 5th unit of Hrazdan thermal power station was out of
order and it couldn’t be repaired, thus he announced to all those
“people pretending to be scientists” that at least 180 million dollars
were necessary to restore the 5th power engineering unit.
And of course Armenia couldn’t afford it.
Generally, he suggests differentiating between economic bargains and
policy. “We have to consider all the profitable suggestion for our
economy, and we shouldn’t differentiate between Russia and Belgium
saying “yes” to one and “no” to the other. No one knows why but the
word “Russia” has the same influence on people as the red color on
a bull. If there is a profitable suggestion, we have to accept it,”
the Minister emphasized.
