“ASHLID” TRIES TO TAKE THE PLACE OF “ARMRUSGASARD”
Support A1+!The workers of the company “Ashlid” have been visiting the buildings of the capital for the last few days and persuading the subscribers to sign a contract of gas service with them. Nevertheless, this right is given to “ArmRusGasArd” only, and all those citizens who have already paid “Ashlid” and signed a contract, will have to make payment to “ArmRusGasArd” too.
On December 9, 2005 the Committee Regulating Social Services decided that “ArmRusGasArd” is given the monopoly of house service of gas consumers. Before that there were a number of companies in the republic which engaged in getting payments from the people, 3000 AMD per person. By the decision of the Committee new tariffs were established for the service. The annual payment for subscribers with one gas consuming device is 2400 AMD, for two – 5700 AMD and for three – 6900 AMD.
The inspectors of «Ashlid» visit different people and seduce the people with low tariffs. Several suchlike cases have been recorded in the Yerevan Ajapnyak district. A number of consumers of this district have signed contracts with «Ashlid» and paid them after which they have been visited by the “ArmRusGasArd” inspectors and warned not to make payments to other companies as in that case they will have to pay twice.
It is noteworthy that the main office of “ArmRusGasArd” was not aware of the incidents. Informational representative of the company Shushan Sardaryan informed that they have not received any information from their consumers or branches. But still, we have facts. In particular, last week one of the inspectors of “Ashlid” visited the Kievyan 12, 14 and 14A buildings and signed several contracts.
Regardless of the fact with which company the consumers sign a contract they will have to do the same with “ArmRusGasArd”, otherwise they will not be supplied with gas.
