Gazprom Armenia is considering laying off employees. This is what Gazprom Armenia’s news service informed in response to NEWS.am’s inquiry.

“Currently, Gazprom Armenia is holding working discussions on complex issues and is also observing the issue of savings. The review of staff lists is also on the agenda,” the company reported.

On the last day of the year 2018, Pashinyan informed that the price of Russian gas would change, but the tariffs for the population would stay the same. Later, Gazprom informed that the Gazprom Armenia sister enterprise would purchase gas for $165 for 1,000 cubic meters instead of the previous $150. Later, the government clarified that the tariff for consumers would be maintained at the expense of reduction of expenditures of Gazprom Armenia. Today, the tariff for 1,000 cubic meters of gas is $290.
