TSKHINVAL, January 25 (Itar-Tass) - The Russian gas transit to South
Ossetia via Georgia has not been suspended: gas gets into the
gas-distribution network of South Ossetia, Itar-Tass learnt from chief
engineer of the South Ossetian Energetika amalgamation Nugzar Tabuyev.
According to the chief engineer, `despite information on a breakdown
on the gas pipeline in the Kazbegsky district of Georgia, we have not
recorded a suspension of deliveries'. `The pressure at the gas
distribution station is not very high now, but we started linking in
social establishments in Tskhinval,' Tabuyev said.
The republican bakery will be the first facility where gas will be
piped. Bakery manager Vadim Tskhovrebov told Itar-Tass that
`Energetika specialists now work at the bakery, and the bakery will be
supplied with fuel within an hour'. `We have been working on diesel
fuel since August 2008, which told on quantity and quality of bread,'
Tskhovberov added.
The Energetika amalgamation noted that following the bakery, gas will
be brought to the neighbouring residential area of Tskhinval.
It was earlier reported about a breakdown on Sunday at a gas pipeline
in Georgia, as a result of which Russian gas transit was suspended to
Armenia. However, the Georgian Energy Ministry stated that the
breakdown would not affect gas deliveries to South Ossetia.
