Transit of Russian gas to Armenia via Georgia is expected to be resumed
later on Monday, Alexandre Khetaguri, the Georgian Energy Minister,
told journalists on January 12.
"Repair works on the gas pipeline are nearing to its end and tonight
the transit will apparently be resumed," Khetaguri said.
Gas transit via Georgia was suspended on January 9 as a result of
the pipeline damage in Gardabani, southern Georgia, according to the
Energy Ministry.
