    Exports of Russian gas to Armenia fall 30% since Aug 7 - ArmRosGazprom

    YEREVAN August 11


    Russian national gas exports to Armenia have decreased by 30% as of
    August 7, ArmRosGazprom's CEO, Shushan Sardarian, told Interfax.

    She said that gas deliveries to Armenia had decreased owing to the
    actions of the Georgian Oil and Gas Corporation, which without notice
    had commenced test operations on its section of a 700 mm trunk gas
    pipeline. As a result, gas pressure in the system fell.

    Sardarian added that OJSC Gazprom (RTS: GAZP) is supplying natural gas
    to the Transcaucasia in full volume. The company is compensating for
    the drop in natural gas supplies through Georgia through reserves from
    the Abovyan underground gas storage facility. As a result, gas
    consumption in Armenia has gone unchanged, she said.

    ArmRosGazprom was founded in December 1997 and is the sole importer of
    natural gas to Armenia.
