Putin Deliberately Delays His Visit, Claims Fact

The newspaper "Fact" reports: "As is known, the issue of gas prices is continuously being postponed, with officials regularly stating that negotiations are ongoing.

According to informed sources from the "Fact" newspaper, this issue has been temporarily suspended because the visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin to Armenia is still being delayed.

Reports indicate that the question of raising gas prices will remain on the agenda and will be presented to the public with various 'sauces' until Putin finally makes his visit. According to the newspaper's source, it is after this visit that the 'fate' of the price of gas imported to Armenia for the next five years will be determined.

Moreover, our sources in Russia assert that Putin is intentionally prolonging his visit because he finds the current government's position and the tools they have employed regarding Robert Kocharian and Yuri Khachaturov unacceptable.
