YEREVAN. - The talks with Russia on a new price for gas haven’t yet been completed. Armenia’s Energy and Natural Resources Minister Yervand Zakharyan told the aforementioned to Armenian News – NEWS.am today, summing up the results of 2015.

He reminded that the fixed price of the Russian gas for Armenia was $165 for 1,000 cu m. Now the Armenian government has turned to its Russian colleagues for revision. Since the talks haven’t yet been completed, there is no point in speaking about the final price. “It’s hard to say what to expect. We will see. We are working,” Zakharyan said.

He also noted that the Iranian side hasn’t made any statement, which could suggest that Iran may propose gas for cheaper price than Russia. Supplies from Iran continue according to barter scheme (electricity in exchange for gas for Yerevan thermal power plant). In all other spheres, Armenia uses Russian gas.
