ArmInfo. Armenia intends to import 15 million c/m of Russian gas daily
via territory of Georgia in winters, Tigran Sargsyan, Prime Minister
of Armenia, said in Tbilisi Tuesday.
He said gas transportation network in the territory of Georgia was
intensively reconstructed within the year jointly with Georgia. 'This
work has been successfully fulfilled and we thank our Georgian
colleagues for operative activity', T. Sargsyan said. In summers,
Armenia is supplied 3-5 million c/m of gas daily in average. Asked
if Georgia is interested in joining Iran-Armenia gas pipeline and
constructing a second line extending to the Georgian border, the
premier said additional line will be necessary only if additional
agreements are reached on increase of gas supply. It is noteworthy
that CJSC ArmRusgasprom will have a monopoly right to supply and
distribution of Russian natural gas in the local market.
Recently ArmRusgasprom Board Chairman, Director, had been in Tbilisi
where he awarded Georgian gas workers for modernization of Georgian
gas supply network. Georgia receives 10% of total natural gas supplied
to Armenia for transit.
