    ARMENIAN SIDE SILENT ON GAS PRICE RISE?

    Armenia's Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources makes no comments
    in the information on the Civilnet.am website.

    According to the website, the price of Russian gas supplied to Armenia
    has been raised by $60 per 1,000 cubic meters - up to $240.

    Lusine Harutyunyan, Spokesperson for the Ministry of Energy and
    Natural Resources, said that negotiations are in progress. The
    Armenian government reportedly plans to hand 10% of its 20% share in
    ArmRosgasprom over to Gasprom before the 2013 presidential election
    in Armenia.

    The Armenian and Russian sides arranged not to publish the information
    before the presidential election.

    Other media outlets applied for information as well, and Minister
    Armen Movsisyan said that the negotiation results will be made public,
    Haruryunyan said.

    In a recent interview with Tert.am, Vahagn Khachatryan, a member
    of the opposition bloc Armenian National Congress (ANC), said that
    Armenia is purchasing Russian gas at $220, rather than $180, per
    1,000 cubic meters, with "total silence on the matter."
