When asked by Aysor’s correspondent about the actual gas prices,
former Prime Minister, member of oppositional National Congress Hrant
Bagratian said that the gas prices can be determined by 96,000 AMD
per cubic meter.

He pointed that in order to give more precise calculation, it’s
necessary to use counters. In this connection he said is expected
the prices for electricity may decrease.

"Gas prices may slightly rise. The large growth is expected for
cement producing factories, which have caused great damage to the
country’s economy. Armenian economy’s 22% decline is more linked to
these factories," said Hrant Bagratian, adding that gas prices growth
will become one of the topical items of the opposition rally to be
held on March 1.
