Georgia has repaired a burst gas pipeline that threatened to
leave neighboring Armenia facing a winter gas crisis, the Georgian
International Oil and Gaz Corporation said, news agency ITAR-TASS
reported Wednesday.
"Georgia specialists over the last three days have carried out...
work to repair the section of the gas pipeline that was out of order,"
a spokesman said.
After testing on Wednesday night, "renewed gas flows through the gas
pipeline are expected by the morning of December 21," he said.
A section of the pipeline, which delivers Russian gas to Armenia,
burst on Sunday, forcing Armenia to rely on underground storage tanks
for two-thirds of its gas needs and drawing a warning from Russian
gas monopoly Gazprom about a possible crisis if repairs were delayed.
