RESIDENTS INDIGNANT AT RISE IN PRICES

Regions

The rise in gas price has aroused serious concern and complaint not only in the capital but also in RA marzes. Residents of Armavir Marz mainly complain of unemployment. “We cannot afford communal services as we are unemployed. There are hardly any workplaces in the marz,” they say. Most young people have decided to leave Armenia as they are sure that prices of most consumer goods will go up.

Pensioners consider the recent rise in gas price a “barbarism.” “They pledged we should lead a better life. We hardly survive today,” they say. They spent their monthly pension, 30-45 000 drams, on gas during the winter months.

Rafik Ghazarian, Head of the Armavir-based “ArmRusGasArt” Ltd, says that Armenia’s Government will take complex measures targeted at the vulnerable layer of the society to protect them from the rise of tariffs.
