Supplies of Russian gas to Armenia via Georgian mountainous region
of Kazbek will resume in 2-3 days.
Gas supplies through this major pipeline were disrupted on April 29
due to a landslide.
Workers of Georgian Gas and Oil Corporation started to repair the
damaged part of the pipeline yesterday.
The repair work is still underway.
Georgian consumers will not be affected by this disruption of gas
supplies as Georgia buys gas from neighboring Azerbaijan, the only
oil-rich country in the South Caucasus.
Georgian Gas and Oil Corporation had told Russian ITAR TASS news
agency yesterday that the pipeline was being repaired at the moment,
adding it would take 2-3 days to finish the repair work.
Armenian consumers will not be affected by this gas shortage as the gas
supplies in Armenia are secured by an underground gas storage located
in Abovyan, an industrial town near the capital city of Yerevan.
