11:58, 24 June, 2013
YEREVAN, JUNE 24, ARMENPRESS: Making the Gazprom's share in
Armrusgasprom 100% will provide Armenia with the opportunity to
keep the tariff for the natural gas unchanged during the forthcoming
five years. This was stated by the Head of the Republican Party of
Armenia faction at the National Assembly Galust Sahakyan at the press
conference held on June 24.
"We pay half the price for the gas from the Russian Federation. Russia
is our strategic partner and we will not go the way, where Russia is
for compromises and we are not", - said Galust Sahakyan, as reported
by Armenpress.
As earlier stated by the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources
of Armenia Armen Movsisyan, at this moment the negotiations are in
the process and no deal has been yet made in giving the 20% of the
shares of the Government of the Republic of Armenia in Armrusgasprom
to the Gazprom.
The Minister of Energy and Natural Resources of the Republic of Armenia
Armen Movsisyan and the Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors
and the Chairman of the Management Committee of the Gazprom OJSC
Alexey Miller discussed the pricing issues for the Russian gas for
the consumers of the Republic of Armenia, as well as the possibility
to make the Gazprom's shares in the Armrusgasprom 100%.
On March 31 2006 the Gazprom and the Government of the Republic
of Armenia signed a 25-year agreement on the participation of the
Gazprom in the gas and energy projects implementation, carried out
in the territory of the Republic. In accordance with the document, it
is intended to increase the share of the Gazprom in the Armrusgasprom
Company by issuing additional shares.
In the result of the issue of shares, the Gazprom's share in the
Armrusgasprom's share capital has been increased to 80%.
