據7月3日Neftegaz.Ru消息：亞美尼亞政府于7月2日批準了與哈薩克斯坦就石油產品供應達成貿易和經濟協議的提議。

國土管理和基礎設施部長蘇倫·帕皮揚表示，從哈薩克斯坦到亞美尼亞的貨物免征關稅，因為兩國都是歐亞經濟聯盟的成員。據他說，交付清單和數量將每年確定一次，直到12月1日。

而締結該協議的談判已經進行了一年半。這是一份非常重要的協議，簽署后亞美尼亞將能夠以更優惠的條件組織哈薩克燃料的供應，這反過來將在亞美尼亞汽油市場造成一些競爭。

總理尼空·帕希尼安強調：政府在保護消費者權利和刺激競爭方面仍有許多工作要做。我們絕不允許任何形式的壟斷，包括人為壟斷，這樣人們就可以獲得高質量和負擔得起的產品。
