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."
