ArmInfo. "It is a consistent policy of the Armenian authorities
to increase gas and water tariffs," Ara Nranyan, a member of
ARF Dashnaktsutyun Party faction in the parliament, said at the
parliamentary briefings on Friday.

He said that increase of tariffs will result in rise of other prices
in the country. "This will again affect the ordinary citizens and
bring benefits to separate persons," Nranyan said. For his part,
Stepan Safaryan, the head of the Heritage opposition party faction,
called the government’s tactics in the given issue inadmissible.

Earlier to today the Public Services Regulatory Commission increased
gas tariff by 37.5% for private consumers to 132 drams per cu m
starting April 1 2010.
