price before the presidential elections 2013.
Zurabyan explained that Gazprom has already raised its price for
Armenia to $240 per 1,000 c m but the Armenian authorities are still
paying $180.
"The difference will be covered by the country's stake in
ArmRusgasprom. But Apr 1 2013 we will still have to start paying $240,"
Zurabyan said.
Armenia's Energy Minister Armen Movsisyan said that the Armenian
authorities are still negotiating with Gazprom. "The negotiations
are confidential and I cannot specify anything before they are over,"
the Minister said.
