IF WORKS ON RUSSIAN GAS PIPELINE TAKES LONG, ARMENIA MAY BE WITHOUT GAS IN WINTER
Yerevan, December 19. ArmInfo. Armenia may be left without gas
supplies of the underground storages this winter if works on Russian
gas pipeline drag long, Sergey Koupriyanov, Official Representative
of Gasprom, told journalists today.
He said that the repairs will most probably drag on. However, Russian
and Armenian specialists are doing their best to restore the pipeline
as soon as possible. Now 1/3 of gas is supplied by lo capacity reserve
gas pipeline, while the rest is taken from underground storages
in Armenia.

gas because of gas pipeline breakage in Georgia. The Georgian side
says that the breakage was caused by landslides.
