“The price of gasoline brand” Aİ-95 “is raised to 1.60,” Aİ-98 “- 1.90 manat. Let” Aİ-98 “are rarely used, but” Aİ-95 “is a high demand fuel. A sharp rise in 15 Gapiki fuel prices are simply absurd. How many times a year can increase the price of gasoline? To be honest, I did not expect to increase gasoline prices, because only a few months ago the price was already raised. “
According to modern. AAZ, the Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Economic Policy, Industry and Entrepreneurship of Milli Majlis Vahid Ahmedov, commenting on gasoline prices.
The deputy stressed that explanations given in the SOCAR statement about the increase in gasoline prices were incomprehensible:
“and each time they explain the increase in prices that in Azerbaijan, gasoline is not produced, but imported from abroad. How many years we hear the same template statements and explanations. Azerbaijan is an oil-producing country. If imports costs so expensive, then build the factory and start producing in your country. The largest demand in the country for gasoline “Aİ-92” and “Aİ-95”. Why so far we have not built the plant and did not make gasoline themselves so that prices are not so high. ?!
It is logical if, with an increase in oil price imported from abroad, gasoline is becoming more expensive, the price of “Aİ-92” gasoline produced inside the country should continue to decline in front of the country? But we have never seen prices to decline. On the contrary, I expect the price to “Aİ-92” will be enhanced. “
According to the parliamentarian, due to this rise in price, it is necessary to revise the sizes of wages, pensions and benefits:
“Understand, it is not only about increasing gasoline prices, it will affect everything from food from food to non-food products. It will have a negative impact on the living conditions of people. The question is very serious. If today I bought a product in the store and I paid 5 manat for him, next week the same product will be more expensive than 5 manat. Everything is growing rapidly. We will certainly touch these questions in parliament. “
“The cost of oil is high, the currency coming into Azerbaijan is sufficient, we have no money circulation problems, the manat rate is stable. What is the price increase?!,” said V. Aahmedov.
