"There is no liquid gas, and the available gas is almost twice as expensive. For a long time, drivers have been raising their voice of protest about the shortage of liquid gas, but there is no one listening or solving the problem. Drivers assure in closed Facebook groups that the crisis of liquid gas is artificial. Although, for example, the Commission for the Protection of Competition and Consumer Interests assures that the crisis is due to import problems. Hours ago, one of the drivers wrote: "Tomorrow Polish gas will come, Lars just passed 100 gas cars."
In response to this, many people desperately wrote: "No matter how much it comes, they will fill one bottle at a high price for a long time: 250-320 drams. As long as it is available, they will sell it cheaply", "Perhaps they want to tear off a good tikka again, until those who bring it by train will not be able to cope with the fact that Lars is closed."
It turns out that this is a lack of confidence in the RA state structures. It is interesting that in addition to the deficit, for which almost no structure tries to take responsibility, the price of liquefied gas in the market is also a problem. For example, there is a sharp price fluctuation in different filling stations in Yerevan and marzes. It costs 250-270 drams in Yerevan, and 290-320 drams in the marzes. Gegham Gevorgyan, the chairman of the Commission for the Protection of Competition and Consumers' Interests, assured journalists yesterday after the Government session that the increase in the price of liquefied gas is not terrible. there are expensive months for liquefied gas, one of which is January and the other is June. "In RA, 187 business entities import liquefied gas, and there can be no anti-competitive agreement or abuse of a dominant position there.
The increase in price was the result of the created supply-demand ratio, the number of fillers is high, the supply is low. Hesa will come after a while, the price will drop, there is nothing terrible. As the Prime Minister of Armenia announced in the previous Government session, we will no longer depend on land transport alone to solve the problems of transport hubs," assured the chairman of the commission. We understand from the words of the chairman of the actual commission that there is no willingness to carry out supervision.
According to economists, the only footnote in blaming transport problems is that the government is trying to praise the Azerbaijani railway. And the liquefied gas crisis was created in order to sell the gasoline brought from Azerbaijan. Drivers make more firm claims about this, because the price of liquid gas has risen so much that it has become more affordable to drive a car with gasoline."
