If Tampering Has Occurred, This Meter Must Either Be Removed or Disappear: Ghazinyan

Everyone understands that, at least during the management of Samvel Karapetyan, no one blamed the authorities; the authorities should not lie, they absolutely did not defend the HETC back then. I can have reasonable doubts that they generated complaints from below, said David Ghazinyan, the acting director of the HETC.

Referring to power outages, Ghazinyan noted that he has suspicions that the current managers are not reporting correct figures. “When the head of state announces in the government building that the HETC has stolen from every family, even they contradict that explanation. Today, the manager tried to correct Prime Minister Pashinyan, but he cannot say that such a thing does not exist. His leader mentions every family, while the manager talks about tens of thousands of families, the difference is already noticeable. From the first day of that person's appointment as manager, it has been declared that there are 20 or more cases; where are they? Currently, they have announced the arrest of an inspector who made alterations. But who said that it didn't happen? Who said that we haven't dealt with it?”

The acting former director of the HETC emphasized that the meters they installed are designed in such a way that they do not allow tampering and ensure a smooth process. “In the case of these meters, the human factor is excluded because the figures are pulled automatically. If tampering has occurred, then this meter must either be removed or disappear, or it must go to a laboratory, which, by the way, is state-owned, and be recorded there. The number cannot disappear.”
