“Regarding the increase of prices on gas, that needlessly is talked about, the authorities were aware of it at least 1,5 years ago, if not for three years. They have asked to declare about it after the elections,” – said the Chairman of DPA Aram Sargsyan in a conversation with “Aravot”, reminding that the gas is sold in Armenia for $ 180, and it becomes 360-380 dollars to get into the country.” For three years they were selling the gas in a low cost, giving a head start, and if it was utilized for specific purposes for the economy, we would be more competitive. Why wasn’t it done, so that, today, when the gas price is increasing, such problem would not have happened. Then, if you knew that the price of the gas was going to increase, why you were not increasing the actual salary and pension fee before it, and not the minimum, in the result of which the taxes are increased, filling in the budget.”
