WAS “GASPROM” WRONG IN ITS CALCULATIONS?

According to the Russian company “Gasprom,” they already possess more shares in ArmRusGasArd.
Let us remind you that the founders of the Armenian “ArmRusGasArd” company, the RA Government and “Gasprom,” have 45 percent shares and the Company “Itera” has 10 percent shares.
The representatives of “Gasprom” have lately announced that they already possess 58 percent of the total shares.
Karen Karapetyan, executive director of “ArmRusGasArd” said his opinion on this score.
Mr. Karapetyan finds the concern why 70-80 percent of the Armenian energy sphere should go to one country illogical. This namely refers to the Iran-Armenia gas pipeline which will be given to “Gasprom” and after possessing the packet of shares Russia can close the gas tubes entering to Armenia any time. “It doesn’t matter who the owner is and what nationality he belongs to. If the country wants efficient administration, it must alienate certain objects,” announced Karen Karapetyan.
There was an attempt to remind him that “Gasprom” was not estranged it is still a state institution. But Mr. Karapetyan answered, “Who says that the energy bloc is liberal in Russia. I think it is more liberal in Armenia than in any other CIS country.”
