John Heffern: We call on to ensure maximum transparency in gas price talks
Talks on gas price involve Armenia and Russia, the United States does not participate in them but this issue has public resonance and we call on to ensure a maximum transparency in the talks, U.S. Ambassador to Armenia John Heffern told reporters on Wednesday.
Asked if he thinks Russia puts pressure on Armenia with respect to the gas price increase, Mr Heffern said that he is not commenting on the reasons behind Russia’s moves because Armenia and Russia are close allies.
Regarding the subsidization of the gas price, the Ambassador said that it is up to the Armenian government, together with the National Assembly and the Armenian people, to make a decision on that issue.
