ROGERS ROBINSON: YEREVAN HAS BENEFITED FROM SELLING THE FIFTH UNIT OF
HRAZDAN POWER PLANT

Rogers Robinson, World Bank resident representative, said yesterday
that it was very beneficial for Yerevan to sell the 5th unit of the
biggest Hrazdan power plant to Russia.

Mr. Robinson thinks it’s normal that the energetic sphere of Armenia
becomes a monopoly of another state. As an example he indicated that
water supply in the Great Britain is supervised by foreign companies.
“It’s far more important that there is a powerful supervisor who will
control the services.” He also suggested to pay attention at the fact
that Russia itself supplies the raw stock for energy generation.
