Georgia’s gas and transport company will suspend gas flows to Armenia
from June 16 to June 21, Armenia’s gas distributor ArmRusGasProm
reports.

The Georgian company plans to conjunct the new section of
Kazakh-Saguramo gas main.

"During this period, the country will consume the gas stored in the
Abovyan-based storage," the ArmRusGasProm press service says.

Established in 1997, Armenia’s gas distribution monopoly ArmRusGasProm
is owned by the Russian gas giant Gazprom (80%) and the RA Government
(20%).

Russian natural gas supplies to Armenia pass through the territory
of Georgia.
