Thursday, February 16, in the media appeared information about the fact that Belarus starts to buy oil from Iran. As reported in several publications, Kompaniya Beloyl already signed a contract with the National Iranian oil company, according to which the Republic will be supplied 80 thousand tons of oil. Thus, the first tranche may be sent to Belarus on February 20.

We will remind, the situation was provoked by the decision of Russia to reduce the supply of "black gold" to Belarus by 0.5 million tons per month. Thus, Belarus instead of the usual 24 million tons of oil, could only get 12. However, the decision of the Russian oil industry received only when have understood that Belarus is not in a hurry to pay for gas consumed in 2016.

Now the neighboring country owes Moscow more than $ 550 million. Most interesting is that this duty has grown at the initiative of Belarus: Minsk considered a set price for natural gas in the 132 dollar per cubic meter is too great. And unilaterally reduced the price to 73 dollars by installing, in the view of Belarus, a fair price.

It is worth noting that experts believe information about the supply of Iranian oil to Belarus ballot box stuffing, which can affect the decision of the Russian gas workers and oil industry workers. However, as experts estimate, if Lukashenko really dare to take this step, for each ton of black gold Belarus will have to pay about 120 USD.
