Georgia has temporarily suspended the transit of Russian gas to Armenia. The Georgian Oil and Gas Corporation said that gas supplies to Armenia were suspended today at 10:00 Tbilisi time for 4-5 days.

The reason is the construction of a new branch of the gas pipeline. It is being laid to construct a bypass road around Tbilisi.

The Georgian company plans to carry out operations to connect a new section of the main gas pipeline Saguramo-Red Bridge. Georgia's gas transportation company conducts repair operations. It also transports gas to Armenia via Georgia.

The Armenian side was informed about the repair work. Armenia has a gas storage facility.
