During the last month, there were large price fluctuations in the market of gasoline and liquid gas. Officials and importers attributed the increase in the price of fuel to the fluctuation of the dollar exchange rate. However, it has been a week since the exchange rate of the dollar has fallen, however, there is no reduction in the prices of gasoline and liquefied gas.
In a conversation with Aysor.am, the director of the LPG Energy gas station, Zhirayr Yapanechyan, said that they do not import gasoline. “We buy from Armenia and resell it. It is Russian gasoline. The increase in prices is caused by the increase in the dollar exchange rate. And we import liquefied gas from Russia. I must say that gas prices have been sharply raised there, I cannot say what it is related to. They increased the price by approximately 1.5 times.”
Zhirayr Yapanechyan also touched on the problems that affect the increase in the price of gas. “Before, liquid gas, as a dangerous cargo, crossed the borders without a queue, because the gas can explode or cause another problem after staying in the sun for a long time. Now everything has changed, our cars loaded with gas stand in line with all the other cars. In other words, the costs are increasing in connection with it, and in connection with the danger, the salaries of the drivers have increased.”
According to the importer, the other factor of the price increase is the time period. In other words, the cost of those drivers staying for such a long time and other costs lead to an increase in the price of gas. Apart from the fact that gas prices have risen, the price is also rising due to artificial problems.”
He informed that it has been almost a month since gas prices in the Russian Federation increased. It can go up and down at any moment. It does not depend on us. In winter, it may rise again, again due to the queues at the checkpoints.
Yapanechyan does not know whether the Russian Federation raised the prices only for RA or for all of them. “I can’t say.”
