The Standing Committees of the National Assembly today heard the final
reports on the 2008 budget execution. Heads of economic structures
were present at the hearings. The parliamentarians, however, focused
on the activity of those structures under the conditions of the
global crisis rather than the reports. In particular, Chairman of
the State Commission for the Protection of Economic Competition Ashot
Shahnazaryan spoke about the prices of fuel, mainly petroleum.

"The prices in our republic have risen with 40 drams over the past
month and a half. We have already asked the two dominating companies to
present reports on the causes of the price rise. We have simultaneously
been watching the international prices. In some countries the price
for one gallon went up 80 cents over the past 10 years. We do not
see considerable deviation in our price policy," he said.

At the request of the Chairman of the Standing Committee on
Finance-Credit and Budgeting Affairs Gagik Minasyan, Minister of
Energy Armen Movsisyan presented the future programs of the sphere.
