Gasprom has refuted information that it owes USD 2 mln to
Georgia. Georgian Oil and Gaz Corporation General Director Alexander
Khetagurin had told reporters recently that transit of gas to Armenia
continues through Georgian territory, however, "Georgia has not
received its share for three months already" saying Gasprom owes
Georgia USD 2 mln.

Gazprom has commitments to pay 10 percent of transit gas to Georgia
but Gazprom sources told Ria Novosty that according to agreement the
company must pay for transit services in natural gas and no arrangement
has been made about monetary payments.
