Heritage MP: gas price hike will drag population into extreme poverty

Hike in gas prices will drag Armenian people into extreme poverty, Heritage party deputy chairman said.

Armen Martirosyan told a press conference that the gas prices went up a year ago, with the statement issued only following the elections.

He noted that the price rise will further deteriorate the situation in the country, fostering emigration.
