First Swallow of Putin’s Visit to Armenia – Armenian Government Deprived of Its 20% Shares in ArmRusGazProm

The first swallow of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to Armenia is the transfer of 20% shares owned by the Armenian Government to “ArmRosGasProm” CJSC. Thus, RosGazProm became 100% owner of the shares and the single gas monopolist in Armenia, while the government lost its ghostly powers to control the company or to make amendments or…

Vladimir Putin visited Armenia on 2 December with a one-day visit dividing it to 2 and even to three towns – Gyumri, Hrazdan and Yerevan (order of visits). In Yerevan the president was met by the police in uniforms and different services not in uniforms.

Safety measures takes were proper. As always, on this very day the parliament decided to pass the extremely unpopular bill on accumulation fund.

A politically incorrect decision, because black balloons, which the youth use to vote against the bill were perceived as a protest against Putin’s visit. The parliament is located next to the President’s seat decorated with Armenian and Russian flags in honor of the Russian President’s visit and here you can find black balloons. Soon we will learn about other significant event accompanying the visit. For example, the amount of new weapons delivered to Russian military base N 102. Or how the life will get more and more expensive after another rise in gas price, or how we will pay off debts to Russia used for its own strategic purposes. Or how many gold mines were given to Russia taking them from non-Russian companies. By the way, unlike Russia the western companies didn’t sort out that absence of taxes for wastes means that taxes are eventually paid but to their own pockets. And now we got trapped into a mousetrap with a free “gold” cheese. We will learn something else interesting and informative about contemporary Armenian –Russian relations.
