Government subsidizes gas price for vulnerable families
At the session today, the Armenian government took a decision to subsidize the natural gas price for vulnerable families eligible for benefits, according to the press office of the government.
In particular, the government decided to pay 56 drams of the current tariff of 156 drams for gas consumed in the second half of 2013 and in January-December 2014.
The decision will apply to about 65 thousand families and means that state budget expenditures will increase by 1.6 billion drams.
