Gas supply to some settlements in Armenia’s southern Syunik Province as well as Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) has been temporarily cut off due to an accident.

In an official statement, the Gazprom Armenia CJSC said the Goris-Kapan-Kajaran gas pipeline was damaged in the 13.5 km section during road construction work on Saturday.

The gas delivery to the towns of Goris and Kapan and the nearby villages as well as the Artsakh Republic has been suspended starting from 11:10am to repair the damage.

“The timeframe for the completion of the maintenance work will be reported additionally,” the gas distribution company said.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
