YEREVAN – Gas Transport Company Georgia has officially informed CJSC
Armrosgazprom about a temporary shutdown in gas supply via pipeline
to Armenia from Russia effective 4:00 p.m., June 8, Armrosgazprom said.

restoration operations at the Kazakh-Saguramo gas pipeline, which has
a diameter of 1,000 mm. The company will announce the restart of gas
supply at a later date.
Gas supply to Armenian consumers will be implemented, without
restrictions, by tapping gas in underground storage.

Russian gas giant OJSC Gazprom owns 80%. The Armenian government
owns 20%.
Gas Transport Company Georgia is the operator of trunk gas pipelines
in Georgia.
