Economist: Dmitry Medvedev will announce in Armenia his country's decision on gas price (video)
If you set the real level of poverty in Armenia, it will reach 70-80 per cent, economist Vardan Bostanjyan told media representatives on March 18. Unlike other commodities, gas is consumed by everyone, and naturally it is directly related to the income of citizens,” he said speaking about the negotiations over gas tariffs. Mr Bostanjyan hopes the sides will reach a decision in favor of consumers. At the same time, Armenia could not have started the negotiations at its discretion. “The strong supplier entered into a positive relationship with Armenia to reduce the price of gas, otherwise, they would simply say that negotiations on this subject are impossible.” The economist says during his visit to Armenia in April [Russian Prime Minister] Dmitry Medvedev will announce Russia’s decision on gas prices.
