«What is it, is Azerbaijani gas poisonous, that we shouldn't buy it?» - Gagik Melkonyan

«Do we need to have an alternative or not? What is it, is Azerbaijani gas poisonous? If those people are offering it, they must be sincere... I don't believe they will really give gas, they just talk about it. They offer, and we will decide whether to take it or not,» said Gagik Melkonyan, a member of the ruling Civil Contract party, during a discussion on 24TV regarding the Azerbaijani president's statement that 'Armenia can receive Azerbaijani gas at a preferential price.'

«That's it, we are neighbors with them, you can't change your neighbor; moreover, enemies and friends are not eternal, everything is changeable,» he noted. It is also worth mentioning that Parliament Speaker Alen Simonyan positively assessed Aliyev's statement, adding that it should be discussed.
