YEREVAN, MARCH 12, ARMENPRESS. The tariff paid by Gazprom to deliver gas through Georgia to Armenia has increased, Georgian Minister of Economy Natia Turnava announced.

“Negotiations with Gazprom have finished successfully and soon Georgia will define the agreement with the Russian state-run gas company. Georgia has improved its positions against the Russian company. The transit price paid by Russia to us has increased, while the cost of the Russian gas has declined”, Turnava said.

She could not say exactly how much the tariff has increased since it’s a commercial secret.

Before 2017 Georgia received 10% of the gas transited through its territory. Later, Georgia changed the conditions and started to get money instead of gas.
