Armenia’s Consumers Association slams gas price hike

Head of Armenia’s Consumers Association NGO A. Poghosyan addressed a letter to Human Rights Defender Karen Andreasyan over the gas price rise.

“The quality and the prices of utilities have always been in the focus of our attention. We are concerned about the price formation, considering it highly unfair.

According to the principles of Armenian public services pricing policy, the gas price rise and USD exchange rate, decrease in the volume of consumption, and the investments made may be cited as the reasons behind the price upsurge.

We urge relevant state institutions (Public Services Regulatory Commission, National Assembly and RA government) for gas price review,” the Association’s letter reads.
