Energy minister: Nobody makes us sell ARG shares
In case of danger, we would not conduct talks about the sale of 20% stake (owned by the Armenian government) in ArmRosGazprom (ARG) to Gazprom Company,” Armenian Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Armen Movsisian told journalists today.
When asked who demanded the inclusion of the issue of selling ARG shares in the agenda of talks with the Russian side, the minister replied: “Nobody makes us sell the 20% stake. If the sale is disadvantageous, we will not sell 20% of shares”.
According to him, the decision will be taken by the government, and then the issue will be discussed in the parliament.
