YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 5, ARMENPRESS: The prices for gas are expected
to be increased from April 1, 2009 and naturally it will have its
impact on the tariffs, chairman of the Armenian Public Services
Regulatory Commission Robert Nazarian said today in the NA answering
to the questions of members of parliament after the presentation of
the report.

He noted that in the coming days "Armrusgasprom" company is expected
to present an application to the commission on reviewing the tariffs.

"How much the increase on the border will be I do not know yet, as
I as far as I know by yesterday negotiations were going on with the
Russian side. After receiving the application we will study it and
we have to establish tariff by the end of this month," the chairman
of the commission said.

He also added that depending on the amount of the increase of the
gas tariff an issue on reviewing electricity tariff will raise.
