Georgian Minister of Energy Nika Gilauri and President of International Gas Corporation David Ingorokva deny that natural gas from Azerbaijan is being pumped to Armenia. As Nika Gilauri stated today, Armenia could not receive gas from Azerbaijan, since the volume of gas in too small for it. The information that the gas received from Azerbaijan is also delivered to Armenia and that the amount of gas has considerably reduced over this reason appeared after the statement by U.S. Department of State Spokesman, reported Georgia Online.
To remind, earlier Sean McCormack said U.S. officials have intervened to help sort out the latest European natural gas crisis that erupted after Russian supplies to Georgia were cut by pipeline explosions. “We did talk to the parties that were involved in the issue over the weekend. Presently natural gas flows into Georgia and Armenia via an alternative pipeline passing through neighboring Azerbaijan. Independently of the cause of the blasts it is important that Armenia and Georgia’s neighbors joined effort and rendered assistance in the crisis. The U.S. intervened to help sort out the crisis and we are proud of it”, he said.
