Russian Gas Company Gazprom has said it will cut off gas supplies
to Georgia from 1 January in an escalation of a long-standing price
dispute.
Georgia has refused to accept Gazprom's demand for a doubling in its
gas price to $230 per 1,000 cubic meters.
Georgia says it is being punished for its western-leaning policies,
but Gazprom says the rise will bring the rate into line with European
prices.
In a similar dispute earlier this year, Gazprom cut off supplies
to Ukraine.
