    Armenia Citizens Will "Somehow" Pay for 10% Hike in Electricity,
    Believes Energy Minister

    07.31.2014 20:37 epress.am


    Armenian Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Yervand Zakharyan
    believes that Armenian citizens will "somehow" pay for the electricity
    that will becoming 10% more expensive starting tomorrow, August 1.

    After the government meeting today, Zakharyan refused to talk to
    reporters, explaining that "there will be a [press] conference in
    10-15 days; I'll answer all your questions [then]."

    While the minister was rushing toward his service vehicle, a member of
    the public, Armenuhi Melkonyan, who has been protesting the actions of
    her neighbors outside the government building every Thursday, asked
    him, "What are we going to do from tomorrow, when the electricity
    becomes more expensive?"

    After hearing her question, Zakharyan laughed, but Melkonyan
    continued: "Well, what, is he going to pay for me... Are you going to
    pay for my electricity? I have no choice: I receive a pension of
    27,000 [AMD, about $66 USD]. How am I going to make the payment with
    this pension? We have neither clothes nor shoes to sell. How am I
    going to pay [the bills]?"

    "Somehow" was the minister's curt response.

    Reporters asked the minister what he meant by this, but Zakharyan
    didn't reply, sat in his car and left.
