Armenian-Russian talks on natural gas prices continue, Armenian Deputy Prime Minister Tigran Avinyan told reporters on Monday.

“It is continuous and time consuming process,” he said.

As reported earlier, at the end of 2018, Gazprom announced that its subsidiary Gazprom Armenia would buy natural gas at a price of $165 per thousand cubic meters instead of the previous $150. The Government later explained the tariff for consumers will be maintained amid the reduction of expenses by Gazprom Armenia. Today, the gas tariff is 139 thousand Armenian Drams per thousand cubic meters (about $ 290).
