Russia and Armenia plan to coordinate the general scheme of Armenia’s gas supply and gasification, to be in force until 2030, First Deputy Chief of the Russian Government Staff Sergei Prikhodko said ahead of Russian PM’s visit to Armenia.

TASS reports that Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev will visit Armenia on April 30 to take part in a session of the EAEU intergovernmental council.

“Our countries pay close attention to cooperation in the gas sector. We have an agreement to coordinate a draft general scheme of gas supplies and gasification to Armenia, to be valid until 2030,” he said.

He noted that Russia remained Armenia’s biggest natural gas supplier, delivering the gas at prices which are relatively low compared to average prices worldwide and defined on a contractual basis.

The bilateral treaty on gas supplies expired on December 31, 2018. At present, Russia delivers to Armenia in line with an additional deal, signed by Gazprom Export and Gazprom Armenia. It will be valid through 2019.
