Arthur Rasizade: "Azerbaijan's power grid will remain the state property so far until the Karabakh conflict is settled"

The power grid of Azerbaijan will be the state property until the Karabakh conflict is settled for being able to interfere with the resolution of strategic issues, said Prime Minister of Azerbaijan Arthur Rasizade.

He said there are different views on this issue-there are opponents and supporters. On the other side, it is considered that participation of private companies in this sector would create a competitive environment and influence energy tariffs.

"Today, the most profitable business is construction of power station and sale of power, therefore, the number of people, interested in this sphere, is high", said the Premier.

On the other hand, he said "it would be incorrect to live by principles of market economy, the government should consider national interests. The current processes in the world economy prove this once more", Rasizade said.

It should be noted that the project of construction of the first private electric station in Azerbaijan has proposed by South Korean Kepko.
