WORLD BANK ENDORSES SELLING FIFTH UNIT OF HRAZDAN
POWER PLANT TO RUSSIA

YEREVAN, APRIL 28, ARMENPRESS: A World Bank
official has endorsed today Armenian government’s
decision to sell the fifth unit of the biggest Hrazdan
power plant to Russia.
Rogers Robinson, World Bank resident
representative, said today the deal was very
beneficial to Armenia. He said the government of
Armenia promised to put the details of the deal on
discussion. Robinson downplayed fears that virtually
Armenia’s entire power grid is now in the hands of
Russia, saying having a powerful public services
regulatory commission is more important.
He said while talking about Armenia’s energy
production and energy fuel deliveries one has to keep
in mind that both nuclear fuel and natural gas are
shipped form Russia.
