YEREVAN, DECEMBER 9, ARMENPRESS. Gas price will not increase in Armenia until April 1, 2020, Deputy Prime Minister of Armenia Mher Grigoryan told reporters.

“I cannot say for now what will happen after April 1 because the talks are not over yet, and we have not summed up the agreements. I can confidently state one thing that there will be no change in the gas price until April 1, 2020”, the deputy PM said.
