Rustamian: Armenia’s foreign policy met with failure
“Our people will not endure yet another price hike. The poverty level in Armenia is much higher than the official data,” member of ARF-Dashnaktsutyun Party, parliamentary deputy Armen Rustamian told reporters.
In response to reporters’ remark that the gap price in Armenia is dictated by another state, Rustamian said this is evidence of the fact that Armenia’s foreign policy met with failure.
“We are said to be strategic partners. Then some concessions should be demanded due to the situation in Armenia. The prices are the same as in Europe. What strategic partnership are we talking about?” Rustamian said.
A protest against the increase in the gas price is underway outside the Armenian government. About a hundred people are participating in the protest.
