A New Uprising Among Drivers in Armenia: Compressed Natural Gas Prices May Rise in April

A new uprising is brewing among drivers in Armenia. The price of compressed natural gas may increase starting this April. Employees at gas stations shared this information in an interview with the "Zhoghovurd" newspaper. According to them, the price for one kilogram of compressed natural gas could rise by more than 20-30 drams.

It is also possible that this increase will lead to higher fares for passenger transportation. Currently, the cost of one kilogram of compressed natural gas at gas stations in Yerevan is sold at 330-340 drams, while in the regions, it is 280 drams.
