Head of ARFD parliamentary faction Armen Rustamyan has said that the
faction is ready to cooperate with the authorities in setting up a
commission for examination of gas issues.
"We are ready for cooperation. Otherwise, there will be a deadlock.
This sector is extremely important for our people, but we will wait
for concrete proposals," he told a press briefing in parliament.
Speaker of Armenian National Assembly Hovik Abrahamyan said yesterday
that the political majority is ready to create a commission for gas
issues and called on the parliamentary opposition to cooperate with
them in that format.
Rustamyan added that there will be no sense in creating a commission
if all this is done just for propaganda and unless the authorities
display proper will.
On February 3, the four non-coalition parliamentary factions - ARFD,
Prosperous Armenia, Armenian National Congress and Heritage - launched
a signature campaign for the establishment of a commission to examine
the 300-million-dollar gas debt of Armenia and determine the reasons
for the difference between the wholesale and retail prices of natural
gas. On February 5, the Armenian parliament rejected the proposal by
a vote of 58-44.
