Gazprom Chief Visits Armenia

Gazprom's chairman, Alexei Miller, received an Armenian state award from President Serzh Sarkisian on Thursday during a visit to Yerevan that came amid continuing negotiations over the price of natural gas supplied by the Russian monopoly to Armenia.

Sarkisian gave Miller an Order of Friendship in recognition of his "remarkable contribution" to Russian-Armenian economic ties and the work of Armenia's gas distribution network owned by Gazprom. Sarkisian "highly evaluated" the Gazprom-Armenia network's track record, the presidential press office said in a statement.

According to the statement, Miller, who is regarded as a key member of Russian President Vladimir Putin's entourage, thanked the president for the award and presented Gazprom's "forthcoming programs" in Armenia.
