`Armenia pays $270 per 1,000 cubic meters for gas at border, not $180
as minister claims': Head of Regulatory Agency
YEREVAN, May 24. /ARKA/. ArmRosgasprom's application to Armenia's
Public Services Regulatory Commission says as from April 1 the
company, according to its agreement with Gasprom, pays $270 per 1,000
cubic meters for gas at the border, head of the Commission Robert
Nazaryan said.
In fact, Nazaryan refuted the energy minister's earlier statement that
Armenia continues paying $180 per 1,000 m3 until the end of the gas
price negotiations.
After the head of the commission made his statement, oppositional
National Congress of Armenia deputy Nikol Pashinyan blamed the
authorities for hiding the price rise information to win the
elections.
`The people have paid for their `choice' in the parliamentary,
presidential and mayoral elections', Pashinyan mocked.
On May 14, ArmRosgasprom cjsc and TransGas limited filed an
application with Armenia's public services regulatory commission for
review of the current gas price. The application suggests increasing
the price for customers with monthly consumption of up to 10,000 cubic
meters from the current 132,000 drams (including VAT) to 221,000 drams
(including VAT).
ArmRosgasprom closed joint stock company founded in 1997 holds the
monopoly for gas supplies and distribution on Armenia's domestic
market. The company's stockholders are Russian Gazprom (80%) and the
Armenian government (20%). -0-
