June 18 2013
Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan said that presidents of
Armenia and Russia had discussed gas problems and formed a working
group to formulate gas prices. He noted that the minimal prices of
gas totaled $189, but 30% of custom fees increased the sum to $270.
Armenia wants its strategic partner Russia to help compensate the
custom fees, Radio Svoboda reports.
The prime minister stated that Russia approved the idea which may be
realized in form of a grant.
Sargsyan reminded that Armenia was a member of the EurAsEC and the
Customs Union and that signing of an association agreement with the
EU would not disharmonize its membership. Armenia wants to cooperate
both with the EU and the EurAsEC.
The official added that Armenia did not want the Russian Federal
Migration Service to open offices in the republic and was opposed to
the So'otechestvenniki program. The program encourages migration from
Armenia to Russia. Migration offices would help realize the program.
Armenia has own program realized with the World Bank to open additional
workplaces in 55 communities and improve standards of living. $23
million were granted for the state program and $31 million more will
be available later. The number of communities increased by 17. $30
million will allow communities to double.
The Russian program encouraging compatriots to migrate was approved
by the president in June 2006 to stimulate migration to Russia and
compensate demographic losses.
