Georgia has temporarily suspended the transit of Russian gas to
Armenia. The Georgian Oil and Gas Corporation said that gas supplies
to Armenia were suspended today at 10:00 Tbilisi time for 4-5 days.
The reason is the construction of a new branch of the gas pipeline. It
is being laid to construct a bypass road around Tbilisi.
The Georgian company plans to carry out operations to connect a new
section of the main gas pipeline Saguramo-Red Bridge. Georgia's gas
transportation company conducts repair operations. It also transports
gas to Armenia via Georgia.
The Armenian side was informed about the repair work. Armenia has a
gas storage facility.
