The Georgian government does not plan to sell its main gas pipeline
connecting Russia with Armenia via Georgia. The press service of
Georgian PM spoke about this on November 16, stating that although
many countries might be interested in buying this asset, it does not
mean that Georgia will be selling it.
SOCAR president Rovnag Abdulaev stated on November 13 that his
company is ready to either buy or manage the pipeline. It is worth
remembering that in July this year, the Georgian parliament excluded
this pipeline from the list of strategic projects, therefore it could
have been privitised and sold. The possible sale of the object created
concern in Armenia, which of course did not want Azerbaijan to become
the owner of this strategically important pipeline.
