ArmInfo. Armenia is a member of the EAEU, as well as a strategic partner of Russia, therefore, we should have the lowest possible gas price. Head of the Bright Armenia faction Edmon Marukyan announced on April 22 in an interview with reporters.
The MP, in particular, noted: <The very next day after the application of Russia to increase the price of gas, we announced that it should be rejected. Based on the fact that, firstly, oil prices have fallen on the international market, and secondly, we are in a deep crisis. If we are in the same partnership plane, we cannot take this approach with respect to our partners, especially in times of crisis. And I think that the Russian side should withdraw its appeal , otherwise, the Commission for the Regulation of Public Services (PSRC) must reject it. It is not the time to discuss such issues at all>, Marukyan concluded.
It should be noted that on March 31, Armenian Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan stated that the government sent a letter to Alexey Miller, Chairman of the Gazprom Management Committee, about the beginning of new negotiations on reducing gas prices. On April 2, the Public Services Regulatory Commission of Armenia received an appeal from Gazprom Armenia to revise gas prices.
Yesterday, onApril 21, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that cooperation should be manifested at all levels.
