YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 28, ARMENPRESS. The price of gas for consumers in Armenia will not be increased until April 1, 2020, and the government is currently negotiating with Russia – its supplier of natural gas - for the possible increase afterwards not to become a burden for both consumers and the economy, Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan told reporters.

“There won’t be an increase until April 1 [2020]. As far as afterwards, I can’t relay information now. Negotiations are in process. We are negotiating to do our utmost so that no increase happens which can be a burden or problematic for both ordinary consumers and the economy,” he said.

He said the statement that the price of gas will not increase until April 1^st doesn’t necessarily mean that an increase is pending afterwards.
