"Russia has its bases to raise gas prices, which are conditioned
by a number of factors," RA Prime Minister Andranik Margaryan said
in an interview with Moscow based "Kommersant" newspaper, Mediamax
agency reports.
"At the same time out strategic partnership should be safe from the
current political and economic conjuncture and should be based on
the logic of long-term cooperation," Andranik Margaryan said.
In response to the question whether Iran-Armenia gas pipeline will
be given to "Gazprom" and when it can take place, the Prime Minister
said, "the construction of the pipeline has not been completed yet,
and speaking of giving it to any operator, including "Gazprom" is
premature. For a long time Armenia and Iran have been successfully
cooperating in the energy sphere, and the Iran-Armenia pipeline is one
of the pivotal bilateral energy programs," the Prime Minister stated.
