In the future Gazprom will sell gas at market rates to Armenia, head of the company Alexei Miller said in an interview with German Spiegel commenting on a question about preferential prices for friendly states.

“We’ve agreed with Armenia that, in the future, they should buy our gas at market rates. Until now they’ve been paying with shares in their energy and gas-supplying companies. That’s why we now own more than 80 percent of Armenia’s natural gas infrastructure: pipes, underground gas stores, pipelines and a part of a thermal power plant,” he told Spiegel.
