Georgians To Fill Their Budget At The Expense Of Armenian Consumers

In case official Tbilisi's proposal on the tariffs of Russian gas transit is approved, Georgian state budget will annually receive 60 million US dollars.

December 22, 2005
Russian-Georgian negotiations on gas tariffs have come to an end. After the two-hour conversation in Tbilisi between Georgian Prime Minister Zurab Nogaidely and vice-president of "Gasprom" Alexander Ryazanov it became clear that the parties had managed to agree on the prices of gas, supplied to Georgia. However, the problem of gas transit tariffs to Armenia through the territory of Georgia is still unsolved. This is one of the three issues concerning which Moscow and Tbilisi could not come to an agreement.
