Georgia: Russian gas transit to Armenia to resume in 2-3 days

MOSCOW, TBILISI, Apr 29 (PRIME-TASS) ‘ Russian natural gas transit to
Armenia via the North Caucasus-Transcaucasian pipeline is expected to
resume in two-three days, Georgian Oil and Gas Corporation said
Thursday.

The transit was stopped on Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. Moscow time as the
Gudauri-Kobi section of the pipeline was damaged by a mudslide, the
corporation said.

Meanwhile, Russian gas giant Gazprom said that gas supplies to Armenia
had not been limited by the closure of the pipeline as Russian gas was
being supplied from the Abovyanskoye underground gas storage facility.
