Georgia, Tbilisi, 28 April /Trend, N. Kirtskhalia/
Russian natural gas supply to Armenia through Georgia is cut off on Wednesday. It happened because of damage to North-South pipeline, Head of Oil and Gas Corporation of Georgia Zurab Janjgava told Trend Agency.
He said the pipeline is damaged by a landslide in the mountains, which led to the necessity of ending the flow of gas.
"2-3 days are needed for repair", said Janjgava, stressing that the accident will not affect the supply of gas to the population of Georgia, as the country gets gas from another gas pipeline from Azerbaijan and is not dependent on Russian gas.
Now three teams of workers are working on the restoration of the pipeline.
Armenia does not feel the consequences of the accident, as there natural gas storage exists, which can provide the country with gas for 10 days.
