A landslide has damaged the 1,200-millimeter trunk pipeline supplying
Russian gas to Armenia and a number of Georgian regions.
The landslide occurred in the highland Dusheti district of northeastern
Georgia. The pipeline will be repaired in several days, a source at the
Georgian International Petroleum Corporation told Itar-Tass on Tuesday.
The accident happened on December 18, and the deliveries are being
made through the spare 700-millimeter pipeline.
"The spare pipeline has a smaller capacity than the damaged
1,200-millimeter pipe, so the deliveries to a number of Georgian
areas and Armenia have reduced," the source said.
