GEORGIA COMMITTED TO RESUME TRANSIT GAS SUPPLIES TO ARMENIA WITHIN NEXT DAYS
EREVAN, August 22. /ARKA/. Georgia will repair the gas trunk damaged
by a landslide and resume transit supplies to Armenia within in a few
days, said Georgian premier Irakli Garibashvili who is currently in
Armenia for an official visit, Novosti-Armenia reported.
The Upper Lars border checkpoint is closed for traffic due to a
landslide as from 22:30 of Wednesday August 20. The landslide damaged
also the gas trunkline which led to suspension of supplies to Armenia.
It has been the second case of landsliding this year and Georgia is
ready to restore supplies within two-three days, Garibashvili said
at a joint press conference with Armenian premier Hovik Abrahamyan
in Yerevan.
Abrahamyan, in his turn, said the two premiers discussed elimination
of the landslide aftermath and offered assistance of the relevant
Armenian agencies.
The previous landslide incident occurred at Kazbegi-Upper Lars
checkpoint on May 17 when the mudflow blocked the road and left Armenia
with no ground communication with Russia via Georgia for a month.-0--
