YEREVAN, February 20. /ARKA/. Armenia is among three leading world
countries in terms of natural gas accessibility to households and
industrial enterprises, although it does not have its own gas and
95% of all Armenian communities are connected to the network,” prime
minister Tigran Sargsyan said Saturday during a meeting with activists
of the Republican Party in Ashtarak. Sargsyan said that the government
will address the issue for the remaining communities.

“In fact in some time all communities across the country will have
access to the natural gas and we will be the first in the world,’
he said.

The prime minister said the next task will be to ensure affordable
prices for gas.

ArmRosGazprom (ARG), Armenia’s national gas distribution company, said
it had 626,382 individual and corporate subscribers as of January 1,
2012.
