Recently the official representative of "Gasprom" made an official statement where for the first time he indirectly confirmed that the decision to raise the tariffs of gas supplied to Armenia had also a political implication. Denis Ignatyev - the head of "Gasprom" press-service department of links with foreign mass media announced that the price of gas for Armenia could be more affordable if official Yerevan did not reject the proposals made. From the words of Mr. Ignatyev it became clear that the rise of gas tariffs is Gasprom's requital for the Armenian government's decision, which was so unexpected for Moscow.
