“The gas resource of the Abovyan underground gas reservoir makes 80 million cubic meters and presently the population is supplied with gas without limitations,” ArmRosgazprom Press Secretary Shushan Sardaryan told PanARMENIAN.Net. In her words, if the Russian party repairs the exploded sector on term the situation will normalize. “If the pumping of gas is not restored till January 25-26 we will have to limit the amount of gas meant for the population,” she said.
To remind, explosions at the Mozdok-Tbilisi gas pipeline in North Ossetia occurred on the night of Sunday. Explosive devices detonated on main and reserve branches of the North Caucasus-Transcaucasus pipeline, one in twenty minutes after another. The explosions were equivalent of 700-800 g of TNT. The Russian Prosecution regards it as a diversion. Georgia receives Russian gas through transit via Azerbaijan, where Gazprom increased the amount of gas supplies, and Armenia uses gas from the Abovyan underground gas reservoir
