ArmInfo.The Office of the President of the Republic of Artsakh considers the statement of the Azerbaijani AzeriGas company about its intention to "rebuild gas  infrastructure" of Stepanakert  as "unserious", therefore they do not  comment on it. The Office of the President of Artsakh said in  response to a query from ARMENPRESS agency.

"We find this statement to be unserious and therefore we don't  comment it," said the source of the agency.

It should be noted that today the Azerbaijani AzeriGas company stated  that it is planned to rebuild the gas infrastructure of Stepanakert,  noting that "certain work has already been carried out" on the gas  pipeline.

On March 8, the Azerbaijani side damaged the gas pipeline from  Armenia to Artsakh. After two weeks of negotiations, Azerbaijan  itself repaired the gas pipeline, and as it turned out on March 19,  it installed a valve on it, with which it can now control the gas  supply to the NKR.

On March 27, the Artsakh Information Center issued a message stating  that natural gas is supplied to the territory of the Republic of  Artsakh through only one gas pipeline from the territory of the  Republic of Armenia, and the Gazprom Armenia CJSC gas supply company  is a 100% subsidiary of Gazprom. "ArtsakhGAS" CJSC receives and  distributes to its consumers natural gas from the specified gas  pipeline. Based on this, the Azerbaijani SOCAR state oil company or  its subsidiary AzeriGas cannot have any relation to the process of  gas supply to the Republic of Artsakh
