    GAS SUPPLIES TO ARMENIA HALTED BY PIPELINE BREAK

    TBILISI, Georgia: Russian gas supplies to Armenia were halted Friday
    by a pipeline break in Georgia, Georgia's energy minister said.

    Alexander Khetaguri said the aging pipeline suffered a rupture. He
    said in a televised statement from the accident site that it would
    take at least five days to repair the damage and resume supplies.

    Armenia has some gas reserves which it could use while repairs are
    being made, Khetaguri said.

    Russia's Gazprom state gas monopoly expressed concern about the halt
    in supplies and offered its help in making repairs.

    Relations between Russia and Georgia remain tense following a war
    waged in August by the ex-Soviet neighbors.
