    BIGGEST GAS COMPANY GAZPROM HELPS RESTORE GAS SUPPLY TO NAGORNO KARABAKH

    Day.Az has received a letter from a reader, which says that the
    biggest gas company Gazprom helps restore the gas supply to Nagorno
    Karabakh de-facto.

    According to it, the link on the map is posted on the official website
    of ArmRosgazprom in the section GAS-TRANSPORTATION MAP of Armenia.

    By following this link we can see a gas transportation map of Armenia,
    which fixes that ArmRosgazprom is engaged in ensuring gas supplies
    of Nagorno Karabakh.

    It should be noted that the Armenian-Russian closed stock company
    ArmRosgazprom was created by the Energy Ministry of Armenia, Gazprom,
    ITERA International Energy L.L.C (ITERA) on the basis of an agreement
    of August 30 of 1997. The society was founded for the term of 50
    years. The term of the activity can be prolonged by the mutual consent
    of the shareholders.

    Gazprom has the biggest share in the founding capital of
    ArmRosgazprom. It owns 67.94% of the founding capital, Armenian
    government holds 26.23% and ITERA 5.83%.

    In other words it can be stated that company ArmRosgazprom is in fact
    owned by Gazprom and Gazprom, violating all international norms,
    promotes the development of the gas sector of Nagorno Karabakh,
    considering that Nagorno Karabakh belongs to Armenia.

    Gazprom is notably the biggest gas company in the world. The government
    of Russia owns the control shares in Gazprom - 50.002%.

    Another notable fact is that on July 3 of this year Russia and
    Azerbaijan agreed to initiate talks on provisions of the purchase of
    Azerbaijani gas by Russia.

    "Azerbaijan will become another country to sell gas to Gazprom, while
    earlier it was Azerbaijan which bought gas from us", said Gazprom
    President Alexei Miller, adding that Gazprom is ready to cooperate
    with Azerbaijan.

    How can we sell Azerbaijani gas to Russia, when the government of
    Russia provides de-facto assistance to the restoration of the gas
    supplies in Nagorno Karabakh? Who can guarantee that Azerbaijani gas
    will not go to Nagorno Karabakh via Armenia? How can we trust to
    this gas structure, which fully ignores the territorial integrity
    of Azerbaijan? Or, perhaps, Gazprom, in fact owning ArmRusgazprom,
    forgot that Nagorno Karabakh belongs to Azerbaijan?

    In this sense, we call on the Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan, the
    Cabinet of Ministers, Azerigaz and certainly the Azerbaijani embassy to
    Russia, which demonstrates quick reaction to such issues, to interfere
    with this problem and give an adequate response to Gazprom for this
    issue is seriously bound to the strategic interests of our country.
