ArmInfo. Yesterday, the Board of Directors of Gazprom upheld the
decision on rise in prices for the natural gas for the CIS and
Baltic countries to the average European, the Kommersant writes. For
Russia-friendly Armenia, the new gas price started 2009 will make up
$165 per 1 thsd cub m against the present $110. This price will not
be raised within the next three years. For the rest CIS countries,
Gazprom schedules gradual rise in prices to the average European
level, which is determined as a price on Poland-Germany border minus
the transport expenses (in Byelorussia and Ukraine minus the customs
duty as well). Today's high gas prices for the Baltic countries, which
purchase about 5,5 bln cub m of gas a year, are compensated by reduced
prices for CIS countries. Only Georgia receives gas at a relative high
price - at $270 per 1 thsd cub m. To note, RA Prime Minister Tigran
Sarkisyan has recently told journalists that Chairman of the managing
Board of Gazprom OJSC Aleksey Miller will arrive in Yerevan in May,
2008, to negotiate with the Armenian government regarding the new
gas prices for the next three years.
