WORLD BANK ENDORSES SELLING FIFTH UNIT OF HRAZDAN
POWER PLANT TO RUSSIA

YEREVAN, APRIL 28, ARMENPRESS: A World Bank
official has endorsed today Armenian government’s
decision to sell the fifth unit of the biggest Hrazdan
power plant to Russia.
Rogers Robinson, World Bank resident
representative, said today the deal was very
beneficial to Armenia. He said the government of
Armenia promised to put the details of the deal on
discussion. Robinson downplayed fears that virtually
Armenia’s entire power grid is now in the hands of
Russia, saying having a powerful public services
regulatory commission is more important.
He said while talking about Armenia’s energy
production and energy fuel deliveries one has to keep
in mind that both nuclear fuel and natural gas are
shipped form Russia.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
