Georgian Gas Pipeline ‘Repaired’


AFP
Georgia has repaired a burst gas pipeline that threatened to leave neighboring Armenia facing a winter gas crisis, the Georgian International Oil and Gaz Corporation said, news agency ITAR-TASS reported Wednesday.

"Georgia specialists over the last three days have carried out... work to repair the section of the gas pipeline that was out of order," a spokesman said.

After testing on Wednesday night, "renewed gas flows through the gas pipeline are expected by the morning of December 21," he said.

A section of the pipeline, which delivers Russian gas to Armenia, burst on Sunday, forcing Armenia to rely on underground storage tanks for two-thirds of its gas needs and drawing a warning from Russian gas monopoly Gazprom about a possible crisis if repairs were delayed.
