    DAMAGED SECTION OF GAS PIPELINE IN GORGIA IS RESTORED, PRESIDENT OF GEORGIAN OIL AND GAS CORPORATION STATES

    Dec 20 2006

    YEREVAN, DECEMBER 20, NOYAN TAPAN. The damaged section of the gas
    pipeline, through which Russian gas is supplied to Armenia through
    the territory of Georgia, has been restored. Alexander Khetaguri,
    President of the Georgian Oil and Gas Corporation, stated this on
    December 20. In his words, the restored section is being tested,
    and the gas supply to Armenian consumers will resume soon. However,
    responding to NT's inquiry, the spokeswoman for ArmRusgazprom CJSC
    Shushan Sardarian neither confirmed nor denied this information,
    explaining this by the absence of contact between company experts
    and their Georgian colleagues. To recap, the gas pipeline in Georgia
    was damaged in the morning of December 18 because of an avalanche at
    the Ananuri-Dusheti section, as a result of which the 1.2 thousand
    mm-diameter pipe was damaged. After this, about one third of the needed
    gas is being supplied to Armenia through a reserve gas pipeline. The
    official representative of Gazprom Sergei Kuprianov on December 19
    stated that if repair work of the gas pipeline is protracted, Armenia's
    underground gas depots may remain without gas reserves this winter.
