YEREVAN.- Russia will preserve the special tariff for gas supplies to Armenia in 2018, Russian PM Dmitry Medvedev announced after the talks with his Armenian colleague Karen Karapetyan held at the Armenian Government.

“The special tariff for Armenia will be preserved in 2018 despite the fact that we had agreed before to set to some other parameters. I think it will foster the general improvement of Armenia’s economy”, Medvedev noted.

 Armenia has been buying Russian gas for $150 per 1,000 cubic meters since April, 2016.
