In the first half of this year ArmRosGazprom imported 1.1 billion
cubic meters of natural gas to Armenia. This is 22.1 percent, or
237.4 million cubic meters, more than the previous year.

According to the news agency Regnum, out of the total natural gas
imported, 950.1 million cubic meters have already been used, mostly
by the general population.

In 2006, 1.7 billion cubic meters of natural gas were imported to
Armenia, of which 1.6 billion cubic meters have been consumed.

ArmRosGazprom, established in 1997, has a monopoly on delivering and
distributing Russian natural gas to the Armenian domestic market.

ArmRosGazprom’s capital now stands at USD 400 million.
