ArmInfo.Gazprom Armenia CJSC will refrain from suspending the gas supply process to consumers in case of untimely payment for the services rendered. This was said in  a statement.

According to the source, taking into account the state of emergency  declared by the commandant and the statement of the Public Services  Regulatory Commission that the situation was recognized as force  majeure before the state of emergency, the company will refrain from  disconnecting gas supplies to consumers who have not fulfilled their  payment obligations.

At the same time, the company informs that, as of March 26, in the  structure of natural gas consumption, the debt of consumers for gas  used in February amounted to about 4.8 billion drams, of which the  debt of consumers included in the list of socially unsecured by the  Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs of the Republic of Armenia  families, equal to only 315 million drams. Thus, as the company  notes, 93.4% of the debt does not apply to socially disadvantaged  citizens. Meanwhile, the debt for gas used in February was equal to  900 thousand drams.
