In 2009 the Russian gas supply to Armenia decreased 19.7% to 1,809
million cubic metres, as opposed to 2.25 million cubic metres in 2008.
However Armenian demand for natural gas also decreased by 6%.
>From April 1 2010 to March 31 2011 Gazprom will supply Armenia with
natural gas at USD 180 per 1,000 cubic meters. Currently Armenia
pays USD 154. Gazprom’s daughter company in Armenia ArmRosGazprom
is therefore demanding that the retail price of the gas be increased
from USD 246.9 to USD 293.5 per 1,000 cubic metres.
