The transit of natural gas from Russia to Armenia across Georgia,
suspended on June 16 over repairs on the North-South mainline, was
restarted on Sunday morning, Tamara Shoshiashvili, spokesperson for
the Georgian Oil and Gas Corporation, told Interfax.
"A rusty 3.6 kilometer-long stretch of the pipeline in the Gardabani
district has taken five days to be replaced," she said.
"The repair work was done by the New Energy-Tbilisi-Sakhydro Georgian
company – the winner in an international tender, under the second phase
of rehabilitation of the North-South gas pipeline," Shoshiashvili said.
