If the price of gas goes up, you will be responsible for it": Manukian LePapuyan Member of the parliamentary faction "Armenia" from Sarop Manukian in the National Assembly addressed the Minister of Economy Geborg Papuyan, criticizing the government's economic policy, and also touched on the issues of relations with Russia, export of agricultural products, problems of rural people and gas prices. "More than anything, you and your government have stated that you are close to Russia, and often call Putin. If those relationships are good and gas prices don't go up, you're responsible for it. If gas prices go up, you have to be responsible too. Currently, agricultural products are not exported - you are also responsible for this. I just don't understand who are you blaming? " noted Mnookian. The minister said in response that the trade balance between Armenia and Russia before joining the EAEU was about 700 million dollars, and now the negative figure has reached about 1 billion dollars. He also noted that upon joining the European Union, several countries received much more support than they themselves invested in the Union, and emphasized that according to the same principle, Armenia should also receive greater economic benefits from the EAEU. "It should be acceptable for me to pay for any product in money and not in sovereignty. If the price of something is 100 drams, you should pay 100 drams, not 80 drams plus sovereignty in exchange for 20 drams,” Papoyan said.
