YEREVAN, July 18. /ARKA/. Armenian Economy Minister Gevorg Papoyan believes that the Commission for the Protection of Competition should address the issue of changing prices in the liquefied gas market.
On his Facebook page, he reported that on July 17 alone, 77 trucks with liquefied gas entered Armenia from Georgia, and 331 vehicles over the past week.
On the problem with the supply of liquefied gas and export through Georgia
Opposition MP Garnik Danielyan reported interruptions in the supply of liquefied gas from Russia through Georgia. According to him, dozens of Armenian trucks have not been able to enter the country at the Georgian checkpoint for several days, which creates risks of leaks and explosions due to the increase in pressure in the cylinders. Danielyan attributes the situation to the deterioration of Armenian-Georgian relations and the inaction of the responsible Armenian bodies. He thinks that the Armenian side should immediately find out the reasons for such actions by the Georgian customs.
According to his assessment, not only gas supply suffers, but also exports: serious problems are observed in the export of agricultural products, flowers and Armenian cognac. Greenhouse farms suffer damage, having to destroy cut flowers.
According to him, the price of liquefied gas has already increased from 120 to 180 drams per liter. He thinks that the reason for the crisis is the ineffective and unprofessional policy of the authorities, which may have long-term negative consequences for the economy and the image of the country.
