/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Russia has temporarily halted gas supplies to Armenia
after an explosive device was found near the North-South pipeline.
"It was decided to slowly bring down the volume of gas in the pipeline
which supplies gas to Ingushetia and North Ossetia and then Armenia,"
a spokesman for Ingushetia's emergency situations ministry was quoted
by Interfax as saying.
Supplies to Georgia were not affected, a spokeswoman for Georgia's
Oil and Gas Corporation said.
Armenia receives about two billion cubic meters of gas a year from
Russia via Georgia.
It is not known who was behind the planting of the device on the
pipeline.
ArmRosgazprom said consumers will be uninterruptedly supplied with
gas from the Abovyan storage.
