Under known circumstances, the Public Services Regulatory Commission took the management of the HPP owned by Samvel Karapetyan from the owner and handed it over to the government manager. It was clear to everyone why this was done, although different reasons were given. As if the owner is not able to properly manage the HPP, does not meet the requirements regarding the time and quality of power supply, accidents and power outages have increased.

All that was done in the framework of political reprisals, to punish the owner and take away the HEC from him.

Nikol Pashinyan brought up the power outage that happened during the opening ceremony of “Homplex Mall” in order to justify the taking away of the HEC from the owner. He said that people invested 70 million dollars and could not hold a normal opening ceremony. There are two options here: either it is a special sabotage, or the system is not technically capable. In both cases, they crossed all the lines.

Հետո, իհարկե, պարզվեց, որ «Հոմպլեքս Մոլի» հոսանաքազրկման հետ ՀԷՑ-ը կապ չուներ։ But it was an opportunity to throw a “barrel” at the owner of the company and to take away the management of HEP from him. That’s what they did, in the first stage they took over the management of the company and gave it to Romanos Petrosyan.

Almost the entire second half of the last year, the HEC was managed by the governor of the government. Now let’s see to what extent the government manager was able to fulfill the requirements for the quality and timing of electricity supply under the investment program.

Everything failed. All target indicators deviated from the required ones. They deviated for the worse. No claim has been secured. Permissible limits of average duration and frequency of power outages, average duration and frequency of voltage deviations were exceeded.

All of this was recorded by the Public Services Regulatory Commission, which for the same reasons took over the management of the HEP from the owner and handed it over to the government manager.

“Within the framework of giving consent to the investment program of “Electric Networks of Armenia” CJSC, the commission set target indicators for the service quality indicators of the services provided by the company, which the company was obliged to provide in 2025-2028, respectively.

2025 according to the actual results, the indicators of the average duration and frequency of power outages of customers, the average duration and frequency of electricity voltage deviation from the permissible limits were not provided by the investment program in 2025. the target indicators set for “, within the framework of discussions on the performance of the state budget last year in the National Assembly, referring to the performance of the target indicators of the electricity supplied to the customers, said the President of the PSC.

2025 according to the results, the actual indicator of the average duration of power outages of subscribers was 849.09 minutes/subscriber, instead of the target index of 666.76 minutes/subscriber defined by the program.

The deviation was 182.33 minutes/subscriber. In terms of time, there were more power outages than they had to provide.

Not only the requirement for the duration of power outages, but also the frequency has been violated. There were more power outages than there should have been.

“The actual indicator of the average frequency of power outages of subscribers was 8.9 power outages/subscriber, instead of the targeted target index of 6.63 power outages/subscriber defined by the program,” the PSC reported.

The actual indicator of the average duration of the deviation of the electricity voltage from the permissible limit was 679.84 hours/subscriber, instead of the target index of 587.08 hours/subscriber defined by the investment program. And the actual indicator of the average frequency of electricity voltage deviation from the permissible limit was 3.79 voltage/deviation subscriber, instead of the target target index of 3 voltage/deviation subscriber defined by the program.

Some of these indicators may not say much to many, but they prove one thing: the established requirements of power supply were not met, and they were to the detriment of consumers. One of the main reasons is that the specified investments were not made. Investments were not made, especially after the management of the company was taken from the owner and given to the government manager.

Now who is to blame for this? Who can say that after seizing the management of the National Electric Power Company, power outages decreased, accidents were eliminated or decreased, and the deadlines for the implementation of emergency restoration works were reduced. None of the target indicators were provided, all of them, in a bad sense, deviated from the set requirements, but no one is responsible for this. By the same logic, now the government should be deprived of the right to rule.

For obvious reasons, the chairman of the commission does not say anything about all this. All the porridge was cooked together with the government. On the grounds of known and unknown shortcomings, the owner was punished, deprived of management, and property was confiscated. And who will answer for the shortcomings of the government manager and the inconvenience caused to the consumers?

Instead of giving an answer, they take the National Electric Power Company to nationalization, and then they will probably sell it to any company they want, maybe even a company belonging to one of the government circles. There are no few people who have little eyes on the HEC. But that does not mean that this whole mess will end, the time will come to answer in international courts and give compensation at the expense of the state and taxpayers.

Dear compatriots,

in 2026 The June 7 parliamentary elections, in our opinion, were held under widespread lawlessness, repression, the spread of an atmosphere of fear, public threats against the opposition, arrests and prosecutions.

Many opposition figures were subjected to illegal persecution. Two weeks before the voting, an illegal criminal case was initiated against Andranik Tevanyan, the chairman of the “Mother Armenia” party, number two on the PAP pre-election list, in order to disrupt the normal course of the pre-election campaign and isolate him.

This unacceptable practice by the authorities continues even today.

It is obvious that with such repressive measures, the authorities cannot extend their years of rule. Pursuing patriotic figures and dissidents, they weaken the country’s resistance and endanger security. In addition, it is not possible to build a democratic state, as promised, with this way of working.

It seems that the current government is trying to create a new dictatorship and create a widespread atmosphere of fear. on the example of Stalinist repressions.

Many representatives of the Armenian intelligentsia are very worried about the events taking place in the country and have no moral right to be silent and indifferent at this fateful moment. On the one hand, the imperative to stop the loss of Armenian statehood, and on the other, the responsibility towards the future, have put us in front of the obligation to raise our voice.

We, the undersigned, express our unconditional support to Andranik Tevanyan, who was imprisoned in a fabricated case, and to all political prisoners who are honestly engaged in the struggle for the existence of the state.

Freedom to Andranik Tevanyan.

Freedom to all political prisoners.

Azerbaijani AzerTelecom has signed a cooperation agreement with Armenian Telecom Armenia. According to the Azerbaijani official report, AzerTelecom will provide Armenia with an Internet transit connection. Turkologist Varuzhan Geghamyan wrote about this in his Telegram channel.

“Until the details are available, I don’t want to make a final statement, but the first question that arises is: What guarantees are there that Azerbaijan will not use it to control Armenian Internet traffic, making anti-Armenian interventions at the necessary time?

In general, it should be remembered. Azerbaijan does not have any goal of equal partnership with Armenia. Any action is based on the logic of a total war against Armenia. to weaken the Armenian state as much as possible and put it in limbo. Therefore, approaching this news with optimism is, to put it mildly, naive,” concluded Geghamyan.

Azerbaijani scholar Tatevik Hayrapetyan writes: “This is a picture from the event that took place today in Azerbaijan under the instructions and auspices of their president. A festival titled “The Heritage of Western Azerbaijan: Return to Historical Roots” was held today. Deputies, local government leaders gathered and had a “party” under our map with zurna-dhol. I am serious, open it and read the original source.

On a daily basis, an aggressive concept is being propagated and developed against the Republic of Armenia in Azerbaijan, and there is nothing to address it and prevent it as of now. The price of this ignorance will be very high on us. How is it possible that they tell you to your face that they are going to come after you and you do nothing to prevent it… not only don’t do it, but also make that speaker an advocate of “peace”.

Parents of many boys who went missing in the 44-day war of 2020, before the national elections held in Armenia on June 7, expressed hope that if the government changes in Armenia, a national government will come, then the given government will start dealing with the fate of their sons. However, after June 7, this hope faded.

 Karine Manavazyan, the mother of one of the missing servicemen of the “Chemical Unit”, He also lost his hope, he says, the hope of many parents like him died out.

“I have always said and I repeat now that if the government in Armenia changed, they would deal with our boys, if it has not changed, then our hope is completely gone.”

Nothing has changed and will not change as long as Nikol Pashinyan is in power. Until he leaves, no issue will be resolved, no one will give a finger, it is not in their interest to resolve this issue and get a solution to the issue.”– 168.amKarine Manavazyan said in a conversation with

He emphasized that Nikol Pashinyan did not say anything about the missing boys either during the pre-election campaign or after that, he only heard the statement of Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan “you knelt down” when the journalist asked him a question during the pre-election campaign in Gyumri about the Armenian prisoners held in Baku.

“We have not heard anything else from the authorities except for the “kneel” of the foreign minister. I don’t even expect to hear anything from them. Unfortunately, on June 7, when I realized that they were re-elected by falsifying the elections, perhaps from that day until today, I am bad, my only hope was extinguished, because until then I thought that another government would come and do something, but no.

They will not do anything, they have been proving for the 6th year that they are not going to do anything,” Karine Manavazyan added.

He also conveyed that for a long time, he “doesn’t go to the door” of any department, because they are all the same, they only talk and leave, without results.

“I’ll be honest, I don’t see any way out after all this, I’m sitting like a madman thinking: how many of these are there, there’s no way out, if they talk about something, they do it just to talk.

There’s no need to knock on anyone’s door anymore, I’m tired of everyone, we’ve seen so much contempt, let’s go, what should we do?

A policeman says to me: “Morkur, this is your problem”, is this something that a law enforcement officer is saying? I know that this is my problem, it is my sorrow, my pain, and that pain is not of interest to any state body,” emphasized Karine Manavazyan.

Let us remind that after the 44-day war in Artsakh in 2020, the parents of the missing servicemen of the “Chemical Unit” of Etchmiadzin knocked on the doors of various departments to get any information about their sons, in vain. The NSS, the Investigative Committee, the Government, the Ministry of Defense do not give them any answers, the only sentence they repeat, apart from the Government, is that “we are busy”.

We should also remind that in 2023, almost at this time, on July 26, the parents of the missing servicemen of the “Chemical Unit” of Etchmiadzin held a protest on Baghramyan street, in front of the presidential residence, where Nikol Pashinyan is also temporarily sitting. The participants of the action announced that they will hold a sit-in until Nikol Pashinyan does not accept and listen to them.

Although the parents had blocked the road for hours, no member of the Government approached them, apart from the Police officers and officials.
