Gas price issue politicized by some forces: Russia’s ambassador
The gas price is agreed with documents with the consideration of a number of economic, social and other factors, Russian ambassador to Armenia Sergey Kopirkin said at a news conference today.
“It is not just taken from the air. To just ask why the prices are raised or lowered is not a simple question. It is a topic for serious expertise discourse,” the ambassador said.
He stressed the impression that Gazprom and Gazprom Armenia are living at the expense of Armenia consumer is wrong.
“I would more say that there is a serious economic issue for Gazprom and Gazprom Armenia and this is why the tariff is being discussed,” he said, stressing that some political forces, individuals are trying to politicize the issue, present it in anti-Russian way but it has no relation to reality.
