Armenia will not benefit if Russian gas is paid in rubles- Gazprom Armenia CEO says

YEREVAN, September 8. / ARKA /. Armenia will not benefit if deliveries of Russian gas are paid in Russian rubles, Armenia’s national Russian-owned natural gas network, Gazprom Armenia CEO Vardan Harutyunyan said in an interview with Gos Armenii (Voice of Armenia) Russian-language semi-weekly.
On Monday Russian energy ministry and Armenia’s energy and natural resources ministry signed a protocol in Moscow amending the agreement on the formation of prices for the supply of natural gas to Armenia. The document establishes the legal reduction of the base price for the supplies of Russian gas to Armenia from $189 to $165 per 1,000 cubic meters. However, the price for households and corporate consumers in Armenia will not be lowered.
Harutyunyan said Russia is selling gas to other countries for US dollars. He added that Armenia can shift to paying for gas in rubles, but in this case it will have to spend US dollars to buy Russian rubles, and the problem is that there is not so much rubles in Armenia’s currency market.
