ArmInfo.The "Haypost" and "Energoimpex" companies will remain in the ownership of the Armenian state. The decision was made on May 23 at a meeting of the RA government, which revised the list of objects of state property to be privatized in 2017-2020.
As noted in the reference letter of the draft decision, Armenia, as a member of the Universal Postal Union, is obliged to ensure the availability of postal communication throughout the country. During the privatization of "HayPost", postal services in Armenia may become inaccessible to many citizens, especially from rural areas. Meanwhile, there are 885 post offices in the republic, of which over 600 are located in rural communities. The government's decision says that, according to data of 2017, the HayPost company was estimated at 20.7 billion drams.
As for Energoimpex, then, as noted in the certificate, the company is engaged in the wholesale trade of electricity, while the Electric Networks of Armenia and High Voltage Electric Networks are not allowed to engage in the export and import of electricity.
To note, the government's decision will be valid until 2020.
