TASS-FACTBOX. On May 27, 2026, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova stated that Moscow has notified the Armenian Foreign Ministry about the potential denunciation of the intergovernmental agreement on gas, oil products, and diamond supplies should Yerevan join the European Union. According to the agreement signed between Armenia and Russia in 2013, Russia supplies Armenia with gas, oil products, and rough diamonds free of export duties and on preferential terms related to domestic consumption.
Supply routes
The Russian-Armenian joint-stock company Gazprom Armenia, established in December 1997 (100% owned by Gazprom), is the monopoly seller of natural gas on the republic's domestic market. Gas is delivered to Armenia via Georgia via the North Caucasus-Transcaucasia gas pipeline, which was commissioned in 1988.
Besides Russia, Armenia also receives natural gas from Iran. However, all deliveries from Iran via the Tabriz-Meghri pipeline are carried out under the "gas for electricity" agreement signed in 2004 and are used primarily for power generation for Iran. Armenia retains any surplus gas within the agreed-upon rules (usually about a third of total production).
