Baku / 08.01.19 / Turan: Acting Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan stated that the authorities of the country will discuss the possibility of gas supplies from Iran. According to him, negotiations will be held simultaneously with the Russian side, until it is possible to find the most profitable solution.
At present, Armenia is not satisfied with the sharp rise in gas prices from Russia, which from the new year costs $ 165 per thousand cubic meters instead of the previous $ 150.
"The issue of supplying Iranian gas is always on the agenda. We will discuss this issue until a concrete and advantageous solution is found," Tass quotes Pashinyan.
The Armenian Prime Minister promised to do "everything to protect the interests of the motherland" in this matter. - 02D-
