Armenian MP, chairman of Alliance Party Tigran Urikhanyan proposes that the Armenian parliament declare Director General of Electric Networks of Armenia (ENA) Company Yevgeny Bibin persona non grata in Armenia. Urikhanyan made that statement at the Armenian parliament’s extraordinary sitting today.

Urikhanyan believes that respective steps should be taken and an official position be adopted over the “disdainful and disrespectful attitude’ of Y. Bibin to several state structures of Armenia and a criminal case should be opened due to unlawful actions at EBA and to punish those guilty.

As was reported, ENA earlier submitted a bid to the Public Services Regulatory Commission about a rise in electricity tariffs. The parliamentary opposition considers it unfounded and serving the interests of that company. The current night tariff for the population is 31.85 drams per one KWH, the daytime tariff is 41.85 drams. The bid of ENA proposed raising the tariffs to 48 and 58 drams respectively. Yet the Commission satisfied the bid only partially on June 17. The tariffs In Armenia will increase by 6.93 drams, and not by 17 drams.

The Commission’s decision will take force on August 1, 2015.
