May 1, Fineko/abc.az. Armenian Economy Minister Gevorg Papoyan said that fuel supplies from Azerbaijan have helped curb the rise in gasoline prices in Armenia.

ABC.AZ reports that the minister stated this at an event dedicated to the Labor Day.

"Gasoline prices have increased several times in most countries of the world, and by several percent in Armenia. Let me explain very clearly and directly why this is so. If it were not for Azerbaijani gasoline and diesel fuel, our prices would be several hundred drams higher than they are now. We need to maintain our diversification as much as possible so that the geopolitical factors are less noticeable for us," Papoyan said.
