Georgia accuses Azerbaijan of disruptions in gas supplies

PanARMENIAN.Net - General Director of Georgian Oil and Gas Corporation commented on disruptions in Azeri gas supplies to Georgia, local media outlets report.

“Georgian demand for gas has increased recently,” David Tvalabeishvili noted. “Sometimes, limitations and disruptions occur in the natural gas supply by Azerbaijan’s state-owned national oil company SOCAR, urging us to maintain balance via Russian gas.”

Tbilisi has recently been negotiating with Russia’s Gazprom over the latter’s natural gas supply to Georgia.

According to an earlier report, Iran is in talks for gas supplies to Georgia via Armenia.

Supplies could reach 300-500 million cubic feet per day, the main consumers being Georgian power plants.
