On July 2, Georgian Prime Minister Nikoloz Gilauri refuted statements by opposition parliamentarian on planned sale of the gas pipeline laid via Georgia's territory.

The Georgian parliament's juridical committee drafted a document envisaging a new list of properties, which are not subject to privatization. Meanwhile, the gas pipeline was not on this list. Thus, opposition parliamentarians consider that the government is planning to sell it, Novosti-Gruzia reported.

Meanwhile, Gilaury refuted this opinion, saying that the entire pipeline will not be sold. "It is possible that 10-15% of the pipeline's shares will be offered on London Stock Exchange in future," noted Gilauri.
