NA speaker on gas price: Each commodity has its price
The Armenian authorities cannot single-handedly set the price of imported natural gas, the speaker of the National Assembly Hovik Abrahamian said.
Responding to a question of Heritage faction member Ms. Zaruhi Postanjian, Hovik Abrahamian said that that a meeting with the prime minister, the minister of energy, other officals will be held in May 23. “We will try to understand the gas price hike process. Gas is an imported commodity, while each commodity has its price,” the speaker noted.
He added that the government is conducting negotiations with Russian state bodies so that “the fuel will be imported at the lowest possible price”.
