/PanARMENIAN.Net/ I think that the delivery of the Russian gas to
Armenia will not be hampered or suspended, Russian Prime Minister
Mikhail Fradkov told a news conference upon completion of the
meeting with Armenian Premier Andranik Margaryan. In his words,
Russia is concerned about the Russian-Georgian relations but hopes
for the better. He also remarked that the Russian-Georgian problems
have a negative impact on relations with Armenia, which is being
isolated in a way. To improve the situation, in Fradkov’s opinion,
the efficiency of the existing transport flows and routes should be
raised. When asked whether Georgia may illegally take Russian gas,
Fradkov said the problem was not discussed at the meeting but the
Russian side hopes the situation will not deteriorate. "We hope for
the better," he resumed, reports Prime-TASS.
