More Iranian Gas May be Supplied to Armenia

There is a possibility of Iran supplying more natural gas to Armenia.

Iran would be happy to hike the amount of gas supply to Armenia due to the economic sanctions that are imposed upon the country, Chairman Gagik Makaryan of the Republican Union of Employers of Armenia said Friday, News.am reported.

He said that Iranian gas could become an alternative to Russian gas.

Russian firm Gazprom is expected to increase the price it charges for gas to Armenia. The move is not likely to go down well with the Armenians.
