Starting from May 1 of 2008, the Armenian Government will stop
subsidizing gas consumers, Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan
said in Yerevan today.

Tigran Sargsyan reminded that, starting from 2006, the government
has been subsidizing individuals and legal entities to prepare them
for transition to new tariffs, caused by the growth of prices for
the Russian gas.

According to the Prime Minister, in May the Chairman of the Board of
"Gazprom" OJSC Aleksey Miller will arrive in Yerevan to negotiate
the conditions of purchases of Russian gas for the next 3 years.
