‘Secret=?UTF-8?B?4oCZIA==?=Gas Deals With Russia Exposed By Parliament Probe

An Armenian parliamentary inquiry has confirmed that President Serzh Sarkisian's government secretly subsidized the price of imported Russian natural gas ahead of Armenia's last parliamentary and presidential elections, opposition lawmakers said on Thursday.

The deputies have been part of an ad hoc commission that was formed by the National Assembly last year to investigate Russian-Armenian gas dealings.

The parliament's pro-government majority agreed to the multi-partisan inquiry amid an opposition outcry against a gas agreement signed during Russian President Vladimir Putin's December 2013 visit to Armenia.
