A pro-government deputy who has led an Armenian parliamentary inquiry into Armenia's controversial energy dealings with Russia faced opposition allegations of fraud as he presented its purported findings to the National Assembly on Tuesday.
The parliament debated what the senior lawmaker, Vartan Ayvazian, called a report adopted by an ad hoc commission headed by him.
The multi-partisan commission was formed a year ago amid an opposition outcry against a gas agreement signed during Russian President Vladimir Putin's December 2013 visit to Armenia. Under that deal, the Armenian government ceded its remaining 20 percent stake in the national gas distribution network to Russia's Gazprom and granted the Russian gas giant 30-year exclusive rights in the Armenian energy market.
