Georgia has suspended Russian gas transit to Armenia via the
North-South gas mains, Georgian Oil and Gas Corporation said on
Thursday.
According to the corporation, gas transit was stopped from 11:00 a.m.
local time and will be resumed in four or five days. The move was
done as part of the project that provides for the construction of a
railway line to by-pass the capital city of Tbilisi. The corporation
had informed the Armenian side about it beforehand.
Temporary suspension of gas supplies will create no problems for
Armenia, since the country has a gas storage facility holding enough
gas to meet the country's demand for almost two months, Georgian Oil
and Gas Corporation said.
