YEREVAN, April 9. /ARKA/. Armenia has long-term contracts with Russia, and they will not be violated, stated Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, commenting on the possibility of a price increase for Russian natural gas for Armenia.
"Armenia has long been prepared for various scenarios. Each case or scenario must be carefully studied based on the available facts and circumstances," Pashinyan said at a briefing on Thursday, responding to a question about possible restrictions in Russia on the import of products from Armenia (particularly flowers and cognac) and the cost of gas.
According to him, assumptions should not be made in this matter without taking into account specific circumstances.
The Armenian prime minister also noted that since 2018, he has repeatedly spoken about the need to standardize production in the country. According to him, millions of dollars have been channeled into the economy for these purposes, and various economic entities have standardized their products in accordance with EAEU regulations.
On May 1, in Moscow, Russian President Vladimir Putin told Pashinyan that Russian gas is cheaper for Armenia than the same fuel in Europe. He stated that gas prices in Europe are currently "off the charts at over $600 per thousand cubic meters, while Russia sells gas to Armenia for $177.5 per thousand cubic meters."
