“WE SHALL FIND AN OPTIMAL VERSION FOR GAS PRICE”

Today while answering the question on gas price increase at the press conference the NA Chairman Arthur Baghdasarian announced that the Armenian side will admit any solution to gas price through the mechanism of compromise. He hopes that certain agreement will be reached on that matter with the Russian side. Arthur Baghdasarian rejected the rumors about giving the Russian side the Energy and Power Station of Hrazdan and the Iran - Armenian gas main. But the NA Chairman is not against the solution of the matter by this method. Moreover, he thinks that the project “Property in place of the debt” was a successful bargain. Now we must take care of those enterprises, make the Russian side exploit them and import the product to the Russian market. We shall find an optimal version for gas price.”
When Mr. Baghdasarian was directly asked about his position about giving the Russian side the Energy and Power Station of Hrazdan and the Iran - Armenian gas main he answered that they are against any bargain contradicting our national security and interest, but the details of the bargain must be appreciated properly.
DON’T LOOK FOR COMPLIMENTS, MR. BAGHDASARIAN
At today’s press conference Arthur Baghdasarian also spoke about the program “Parliamentary week” which has aroused public resonance. He said he receives 2 - 3 international delegations a day and it is not his guilt that his meetings are broadcast in the program. He didn’t want to comment on Galust Sahakian’s announcement that the program is Baghdasarian’s monologue. In regard of various political parties’ announcements about the program “Parliamentary week” Arthur Baghdasarian said that he will say who and how much pays for different announcements in due time.
By the way, the NA Chairman urges that they have held a survey and can say how much time each fraction is given during the program. As it turns out they are all given equal opportunities. Anyway, Arthur Baghdasarian expressed his wish to have a separate TV Channel which will give a full coverage of the Parliamentary procedure. “I can assure you that there is not free frequency and you will not succeed in attempting to find it.” In response to our remark on the matter he said, “Some people view the Parliament as a link out of the State and we have difficulties in finding free frequency as it is not profitable for them,” but they will have a separate TV channel and the rumours about “Parliamentary Week” will end.
By the way, it is already 4th year of “A1+”’ embattlement, and when Arthur Baghdasarian was asked to estimate the level of speech freedom the latter answered, “I miss “A1+” and wish it regain its broadcasting licence.”
ARTHUR BAGHDASARIAN COMBATS WITH HIS DEEDS
“The licentious behavior deprives people of their hope,” Arthur Baghdasarian claimed while speaking of corruption combat and did not go into details.
He mentioned that corruption may be combated with actions and words, he prefers combating with deeds and added that an international conference will be held in Armenia on corruption combat from April 6 – 7 in which representatives from 10 countries will participate. “Such international conferences are always held in Georgia. They will also be held in Armenia in 2006 on the theme of combating intimidation, chemical weapon spread and for the purpose of implementing democratic reforms.”
