YEREVAN, December 22 (Itar-Tass) — Gas deliveries to Armenia have
resumed following repairs of a landslide-stricken pipeline in
Georgia, Shushan Sardarian, spokesman for the ArmRosGazprom
Russian-Armenian joint venture, told Itar-Tass on Friday.
She said the deliveries should fully resume by night, while currently
Armenia is receiving 330,000 cubic meters of gas per hour. The normal
hourly amount is 350,000.
The deliveries shrank after the landslide hit the trunk pipeline in
Georgia in the small morning hours of December 17. However, citizens
and industrial enterprises were not affected because Armenia was
using gas from an underground storage facility near Yerevan.
