People are sacrificed for well-being of ArmRosGazprom staff

ArmRosGazprom CJSC maintains high profitability, which is reflected in the tariff of natural gas sold by the company, Chairman of the Republican Union of Employers Gagik Makarian said at the meeting with reporters today.

According to him, the people are sacrificed for the sake of well-being of 4,000 employees of ArmRosGazprom Company. “The poverty level will rise because of the gas price hike and more people will emigrate from Armenia. The price hike will also hit small and medium businesses whose profits range from 0% to 3%,” the union chairman said.

He stressed that the staff of ArmRusGazprom have a special place in Armenia in terms of their salaries, buildings, structures, and recreational opportunities.

Speaking about repair work done by the company, G. Makarian said such work is mostly done on their own structures, while gas pipelines in provinces are old and ArmRosgazprom’s investments do not affect gas pipelines and the caloric value of gas.
