YEREVAN, October 29, /ARKA/. In response to concerns that delivery of
Russian natural gas to Armenia via a pipeline running across Georgia
may be jeopardized after an Azerbaijani company
Oil & Gas Construction Trust has won a tender announced by Georgian
government for supply of pipes and other materials for repair of the
North-South pipeline, Shushan Sardarian, a spokeswoman for Armenia's
natura gas operator ArmRosGazprom, said all questions that may arise
during the pipeline's overhaul in Georgia's territory will be settled
as spelled out by related agreements signed by ArmRosGazprom with
the supplier.
In September 2008, Georgia received additional funds from the U.SD.-
government-run Millennium Challenges Corporation to finance the second
stage of repairs to the pipeline.
The Azerbaijani company will have to supply pipes and other materials
within 120 days.
ARG is the only company dealing with import and distribution of
Russian natural gas coming to Armenia from Russia via Georgia. It was
established in 1997. Russian Gazprom holds the majority stake in it,
the rest is owned by Armenian government.
