Iranian gas saves Armenia

Armenian Deputy Minister for Energy Ara Simonyan said that Iran kept Armenia supplied with gas during reconstruction of the pipeline running from Russia, News.am reports.

The pipeline was under reconstruction for over a year. Iranian gas supplies and reserves of the Abovyan gas holder fulfilled all demands for gas in the country.

The mudslide in the Darial Gorge of Georgia blocked the Stepantsmind-Lars road, the only highway connecting Russia and Georgia, and damaged the gas pipeline.
