YEREVAN, AUGUST 11, NOYAN TAPAN. The amount of natural gas supplied
to Armenia through Georgia has been reduced by 30%, spokeswoman for
ArmRusgazprom company Shushan Sardarian announced on August 11. "We
are clarifying the reasons for reduction in the amount of gas that
is imported into Armenia via the pipeline running through Georgia,
and the amount of reduced gas volume," she said. According to her,
at the moment the difference in the amount is replenished from
ArmRusgazprom’s storages, whose gas will suffice until the issue’s
settlement, taking into account the fact that the consumption has
declined in the summer season.
