YEREVAN, December 14 (Itar-Tass) – Gas is being supplied to Armenia
without restrictions by using fuel accumulated at gas storages,
ArmRosGazprom told Itar-Tass on Monday.
Russia has suspended the transit of gas to Armenia after an explosive
device was found under the gas main near Ingushetia’s settlement of
Srednie Achaluki.
"We received a telegram that supplies of gas to Armenia have been
suspended. Before supplies are resumed, gas to the population will be
delivered from reserves of underground gas storage facility," the press
secretary of the ArmRosGazprom gas company, Shushanik Sardaryan, said.
Russia is the main supplier of gas to Armenia. It delivers 6.5 million
cubic meters of gas a day via the territory of Georgia.
"Under force-majeure circumstances, we are using gas storages,"
Sardaryan said.
