The Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum (BTE) gas pipeline stopped working after the

BP-Azerbaijan announced stopping of gas export via the BTE on August
13. According to representatives of the company, gas pumping to the
pipeline was stopped due to security reasons. Gas transportation may
be restarted only when there is assurance of security of this
pipeline. Thus, the North-South gas pipeline via which Russian gas is
supplied to Armenia remains the only normally functioning pipeline in
Georgia.
