In 2011, the price of Russian natural gas for Armenian consumers
will not go up. This agreement was reached during the St. Petersburg
meeting between the Presidents of Russia and Armenia on February 25.
Moreover, according to the special decree of the Armenian President,
the gas tariff will even go down for the vulnerable population of
Armenia. In December last year, Armros- Gazprom leadership stated
that gas for Armenia would go up from April 2011. Currently, Armenia
is paying USD 180 for 1000 q.m. of natural gas. In 2010, Belarus was
buying Russian gas from USD 187, Ukraine - USD 260 though in 2011
Gazprom plans to increase the price for Belarus up to USD 230 and up
to 290 for Ukraine.
