As reported by Interfax Armrosgazprom CEO Karen Karapetyan announced
Tuesday, in time of the meeting with Armenian President Serge Sargsyan,
that starting from April 1, 2009 Russia's gas for Armenia's clients
will cost $154/ths cu meters. And it's only the beginning. The price
will soar to $200/ths cu meters from April 1, 2010, Karapetyan said.
The growth is connected with the price increase on Russia's energy
market, but Armenia is expected to shift to European prices from 2011.
It was not of a big surprise for Armenia's president. He said that
negotiations with Gazprom were based on the gradual increase in
gas prices. The growth in prices won't significantly affect the
population, Sargsyan promised, pointing out that it will create
brilliant opportunity for the business to improve competitive ability.
Sargsyan urged Armrosgazprom to actively proceed with Armenia's
gasification.
Russia's gas monopoly Gazprom signed in September of 2008 the contract
for gas supplies to Armenia in 2009 and 2010. Gazprom supplied 2.05
billion cu meters in 2007.
