Damage of the major gas pipeline in Georgia on March 9 night caused suspension of Russian gas supply to Armenia.

Georgian Minister for Energy and Natural Resources Alexander Khetaguri told the journalists that the pipeline junction was damaged by a landslide at 114th km of the major gas pipeline. Khetaguri and the general director of Georgian Oil and Gas Corporation Zurab Janjgava arrived on the spot.

“Corporation staff is already working, and the damage will be repaired by March 13,” the Minister said.

Khetaguri also said that Georgia’s population will face no problems with gas supply since this pipeline serves to transfer gas from Russia to Armenia.
