YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 29, ARMENPRESS: Russian gas deliveries to Armenia
were stopped on September 29 noon. A spokeswoman for HayRusGazArd
joint Russian-Armenian venture that ships the Russian gas to Armenia
via Georgia, said the shipment was stopped because of reconstruction
of a section of the main pipeline in the territory of Georgia.

The spokeswoman said supplies of the Russian gas are expected to resume
in four days. Until then Armenia will use gas from its underground
storage in Abovian.
