The price of Russian gas for Armenia rose from $110 to $154 per thousand cubic meters in April and was expected to rise to $200.
But the Moscow daily "Kommersant" reported on October 14 that the price for Armenia will be $180 as of April 2010, due to a decrease in international gas prices.
Gazprom is the main supplier of gas to Armenian households and provides about one-third of Armenia's electricity.
Gazprom spokesman Shushan Sardarian told RFE/RL that "intensive negotiations are under way with the Russian side over reducing that $200 fee," but added that a "tentative agreement" has already been reached.
