Zhoghovurd: Russia to raise Armenia’s gas supply prices
11:02 * 04.04.15
The paper says it has learned from sources that Russia is planning to
raise its natural gas supply tariffs for Armenia.
The issue was reportedly discussed in a recent phone conversation
between Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan and his Russian counterpart,
Dmitry Medvedev.
The paper says it hasn’t managed to find out how much exactly the
country intends to raise the price.
It notes, however, that Russia currently supplies natural gas to
Armenia for $200 per cubic meter. The paper adds, citing its sources,
that attempts are now being made to set up a group of specialists to
study the problem and see if there are any justifications behind the
planned surge. This, strikingly enough, is against the backdrop of
falling prices of energy carriers across the globe, says the paper,
adding that the Russian authorities seek simply to all the time
increase the prices of gas supplied to Armenia.
