RUSSIAN GAS SUPPLIES TO AZERBAIJAN LIMITED DUE TO NON-PAYMENT OF DEBTS
Beginning today "Gazprom" company, which is monopolist of the gas sphere of Russia, introduces limitations to gas supplies to Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Ukraine by "ITERA" group. As reported by "Gazprom" press service, the limitations are due to the fact that the "ITERA" debt to "Gazprom" for gas transportation to these countries has made some $100 million.
