The gas transportation company of Georgia has officially informed the Armenian party (ZAO Armrosgazprom) about the temporary termination of Russian gas deliveries starting from 11:00 today.
There are several reason to this decision: first, the necessity of carrying out assembly and commissioning works connected with putting in operation a new gas pipeline division Saguramo – Krasniy Most with the diameter of one meter — these works are needed because of the new bypass road to Tbilisi and they will continue for 4-5 days), secondly, the recovery works of the gas pipeline division damaged by the landslide, thirdly, abandonment works on gas loss.
The final deadline of all the above mentioned works’ completion and the resumption of gas deliveries will be additionally announced by the Georgian party. That will not influence the Armenian citizens — gas will be delivered from the internal reserves (Abovyanskoe gas holder). Gas deliveries to Armenia are executed by ZAO Armrosgazprom, the main shareholder of which is Gazprom (80%), and 20% of shares belong to the Armenian government.
Besides, there are gas deliveries from Iran, in exchange for electrical energy.
