    YEREVAN. - The name of Armenian capital city Yerevan's former Mayor,
    Russian Gazprom Company's present-day Deputy Director, Karen
    Karapetyan - who is in Armenia these days and is holding political
    meetings - likewise is circulated among the candidates for the PM's post
    of the country, Hraparak daily reports.

    `We learned from a Moscow source close to [Russia's] Gazprombank that
    the matter of Karen Karapetyan being appointed PM is linked to the
    Armenian-Russian talks with respect to the price of [natural] gas. The
    authorized circles of the negotiations have imposed a condition that
    Karapetyan would return to Armenia and be appointed to the PM's
    position only if he contributes to a reduction in the price of the
    Russian gas.

    To note, [Armenia's] Energy and Natural Resources Minister Armen
    Movsisyan had pledged that, `we will have the best gas price in the
    CIS; ours will be the lowest [price].'

    The price of Russian gas currently being delivered to Armenia
    constitutes $180/1,000 cubic meters, whereas Belarus pays the lowest
    price for the Russian [natural] gas,' Hraparak writes.
