11:41 07/02/2014 >> DAILY PRESS
Greenhouses have got into debts due to the gas price increase,
Zhoghovurd newspaper writes. The owners of some 20 greenhouses applied
to the Agriculture Ministry for assistance.
Minister Sergo Karapetyan told the newspaper that he sent an official
letter to Gazprom Armenia CJSC requesting to extend the debt payment
time at least until May.
"They answered that due to non-payment of greenhouses, they have to
get credits and pay interest, so they suffer indirect loss. Therefore,
the company rejected our request. The Ministry has no leverage to
influence the company," the Minister said.
