Teen solves centuries-old math problem
MINSK, Belarus, Nov. 24 (UPI) -- Belarus President Alexander Lukshenko has complained of unequal gas prices with Russia, adding this could endanger a union of the two states.
"As for Belarus and Russia, please agree in principle that it is not important what the price will be, either $50 or $120 dollars [per 1,000 cu.m.] It is not important," he said Thursday. "The important thing is that this price be the same in Belarus and Russia. This is the essence of equal conditions for business entities."
The comments were reported by Belarusian Radio.
He said he and former Russian President Boris Yeltsin signed accords creating equal conditions for businesses from the two countries.
"If conditions are different, the conclusion is categorical," he said "This is not the single state that we were planning to construct."
Russia has raised the price of gas sold to former Soviet states, saying they need to reflect market rates. Most of Western Europe pays $230 per cu.m.
