ArmInfo.Promises of Prime-Minister Karen Karapetyan are idle talks, Nikol Pashinyan, one of the leaders of the Yelk opposition bloc, stated during the meeting with the voters of Gegharkunik province on March 23.
"Thanks to Karen Karapetyan, the ruling Republican Party of Armenia tries to create a vision of progress. But personally for me two months were enough to understand that his promises are idle talks. Do you remember his words that every person can import to Armenia whatever he wants? A few days later, it became clear that the authorities prevent the import of kerosene to the Republic. The same is true for the market of citrus fruits.
"This demonstrates that they lie when they say they want investments, they lie when they say they fight against monopolies. This is a real movie, Karen Karapetyan is a symbol of setback, not progress. Why does gas enter Armenia for USD 150, but then it enters your houses for a double price? Because Karen Karapetyan's Gazprom, for instance, has built the Marriott Hotel and they equip their offices in such a way that is impossible to understand and we pay for all that. But they do nothing to decrease the losses, because these sums go to their pockets," Pashinyan said.
