Returning form the 10th sitting of the Armenian-Russian
Interparliamentary Committee, Vahan Hovhannisyan declared that positive
change is observed in the Armenian-Russian negotiations over gas, which
allows to consider that the gas price will be reconsidered. However,
Vahan Hovhannisyan did not mention any concrete numbers. According
to him, their Russian colleagues were trying to convince the rise of
Russian price is not the will of Russia but Georgia's demand to supply
gas to everyone at the same price. Vahan Hovhannisyan considers this
the official position of the Russian authorities. The Vice-Speaker
does not take serious Vladimir Zhirinovski's statement that the gas
will be supplied to Armenia on lower price in case Armenia joins the
Russia-Belarus Union. This is the opinion of the Liberal-Democratic
Party of Russia, which cannot be official.
Vahan Hovhannisyan was given the opportunity to deliver a report on
political relations of the two countries.
