YEREVAN. – Zhoghovurd daily found out quite remarkable facts when carefully studying the official statistics, the daily reports. 

“It turns out that Armenia imports [natural] gas not solely from Russia and Iran, but from Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan. Moreover, the volume of gas imported especially from Turkmenistan is growing. 

“In 2013, 1,102.7 tons [of gas] was imported from Turkmenistan, and 19.2 tons of gas from Kazakhstan.

“Zhoghovurd tried to inquire from the SRC [i.e., the State Revenue Committee], and the Energy and Natural Resources Ministry as to what gas is imported, for what purpose, and where it is used. Both agencies have promised to provide clarifications in the coming days,” Zhoghovurd writes.
