Higher oil prices will affect the cost of petroleum in Armenia,
Mushegh Elchyan, deputy director of a fuel import company "Flash",
told Panorama.am.
The expert forecast 3-4 percent higher petroleum prices in Armenia,
or 10-12 drams more per liter, in case the high price sustains in
the world. "The price of petroleum will not go up for the coming week
in the republic since a new dispatch has not been imported," Elchyan
said. In his words, 1 liter of petroleum has gone up by 30-40 drams
per 1 liter since the start of the year.
Note: A new oil price record was registered in New York today with
1 barrel of oil/$81. The rise in prices is explained with greater
demand for oil in fall and winter season.
