Azerbaijani petrol on sale in Armenia - minister 

ArmInfo. One of the major gas station chains, which also purchased Azerbaijani petroleum products, will begin selling this fuel at low prices in the coming  days.  Economy Minister Gevorg Papoyan announced this on his Facebook  page.

He also cited current market prices, noting that gasoline cost 510  drams/liter in early December, but is now 430 drams/liter (a  difference of 80 drams, or a decrease of 15.7%); diesel fuel cost 480  drams/liter in early December, but is now 410 drams/liter (a  difference of 70 drams/liter, or a decrease of 14.6%). Meanwhile, the  minister did not address the issue of liquefied gas, which is used by  the majority of drivers in Armenia.  Prices for liquefied gas have  risen to almost 300 drams. A shortage had previously been reported on  the market. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated during a  government meeting on January 15 that this problem must be addressed,  including at the regional level, through supply diversification. "We  must move in this direction, and we are already moving in that  direction. And rest assured, this problem will not arise either this  December or next year," Pashinyan concluded. It should be noted that  the price of liquefied gas had increased by 30-40 drams the previous  day, and by evening, there was a shortage of liquefied gas at gas  stations. By the end of the day, the price of liquefied gas had  gradually increased to 250 drams.

Gegham Gevorgyan, head of the Competition and Consumer Protection  Commission, stated that this is a commodity imported into Armenia by  more than 100 companies. "The largest importer accounts for no more  than 9% of the market. It is absurd to think that all these companies  are agreeing to a simultaneous price increase," he emphasized.  According to data from the RA Customs Service, in the first half of  2025, liquefied gas imported to Armenia primarily came from Russia  (99.1%), or over 126,871.9 tons, with a 30.6% increase in volume and  a 45.6% increase in customs value (to $42.1 million). Iranian  liquefied gas supplies decreased by 66% to 553.6 tons (0.4%), with a  66.7% decrease in customs value to $233,900. Iraqi liquefied gas  accounted for 0.1%, or 218.1 tons, a 68.3% increase year-on-year,  while its customs value increased 2.8-fold to $146,000. Significantly  smaller volumes of liquefied gas were imported to Armenia from  Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Belarus, Turkey, China, Germany, and  Poland.
