“THE PARTICIPATION OF RUSSIAN COMPANIES IN PRIVATIZING OF THE ARMENIAN POWER GRIDS IS A MERELY POLITICAL MATTER”, think Russian experts

The participation of RAO “EES” in the privatizing the units of Armenia’s energy industry makes no economic sense for the Russian company. As “Arka” agency informs the analysts of Russian “United financial group” stated that. In experts’ opinion, entering of RAO “EES” Armenia will not expand the energy export outside the CIS. “According to this scheme ” the narrow place” will again be Georgia, where power lines were seriously damaged because of the military operations in Abkhazia”, think the experts.
