Armenia’s gas supplies from Russia remain uninterrupted, according to Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure David Khudatyan, who announced the status on May 30.
In an interview, Khudatyan stated that Armenia maintains constant communication with Russian authorities and Gazprom, ensuring operations proceed normally. He also reported receiving a letter from Russia regarding potential denunciation of the gas agreement.
Separately, Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned Armenia that it could face losses of up to 14% of its gross domestic product if it raises energy prices due to withdrawal from the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). This warning follows a summit meeting among EAEU leaders where they decided to assess economic damage caused by suspending Armenia’s membership until December.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated on May 27 that Russia cautioned Armenia about possible suspension of gas and petroleum supply agreements if the country continues its accession process to the European Union. A letter from Sergey Tsivilev, head of the Russian Ministry of Energy, has been delivered to Armenia’s Ministry of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure.
