RUSSIAN GAS SUPPLY TO ARMENIA FORECASTED TO RESUME JANUARY 24
The restoration works on the damaged strip of Mozdok-Tbilisi reserve gas pipeline, through which gas was being supplied to Georgia and Armenia after the wreckage of North Caucasus-Transcaucasia main, are planned to be completed by January 24. As reported by Georgian media, simultaneously repair works of the main are held. The repairmen's estimated date for finishing these measures is the end of January. Let us remind that January 17 the transportation of gas from Russia to Georgia and Armenia was completely cut off.
