MANY ECONOMY BRANCHES IS ARMENIA TURNED OUT TO BE IN HANDS OF RUSSIA THAT THREATENS COUNTRY’S SECURITY: REPRESENTATIVE OF OPPOSITION
Yerevan, February 6. ArmInfo. Many economy branches of Armenia turned
out to be in hands of Russia that threatens the country’s security,
a representative of the Parliamentary opposition, Viktor Dallakyan,
said in the National Assembly.
According to him, the energy, communication and other branches of
economy are in hands of Russian companies that is inconsistent with
the state’s national interests. The main purpose of Iran-Armenia gas
line construction was in the necessity of creation of an alternative
"blue fuel" source for Armenia not to depend on the supplies of
Russian gas only. However, a possible transfer of a 40-km section of
Iran-Armenia gas line to Russia may whittle all these intentions.
Moreover, Dallakyan said, Armenia has lost a possibility of using
the Iran-Armenia gas line as a transit one, as a result of which its
annual losses will make up $250 mln.
