No gas price increase is envisaged in Armenia, Armenian Prime Minister
stated.

As Tigran Sargsyan told a parliament-hosted news conference, “gas
tariffs in Armenia will remain unchanged. The President has already
made a statement on the issue. Moreover, the gas price was decreased
by AMD 32 for vulnerable sections of the population.”

As the Prime Minister noted, the final tariffs for Russian gas will
be specified after completion of negotiations between Armenian and
Russian parties.

At present, Armenia pays USD 180 per 1000 cubic meters of Russian gas.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
