Moscow, 6 April: An increase in payments for Russian gas may have
political consequences in Armenia, Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan
Oskanyan stated in Moscow today.

He said: “We have started to pay 110 dollars for 1,000 cu.m. of
gas. This issue cannot be viewed outside politics.” “The increase in
the price of Russian gas in Ukraine has had political consequences. I
think this is also possible in our country,” he noted. [Garbled
