Gazprom Export offers Georgia package proposal on gas transportation to Armenia

A regular meeting of the General Director of OOO Gazprom Export Elena Burmistrova and Georgia’s Energy Minister Kakha Kaladze took place in Minsk on January 10. Gazprom Export has offered a guaranteed income from service on gas transportation to Georgia, the company said in a statement.

The parties also agreed conditions of gas transportation through Georgia to Armenia and gas supplies to Georgia.

"Gazprom Export has made a package proposal to Georgia under optimal and mutually beneficial conditions, which will allow the Georgian party to raise guaranteed income from transportation services and improve the reliability of gas supply in Georgia," TASS cited Burmistrova as saying.

Previously, Russia paid Georgia for gas transportation by supplying natural gas in the amount of 10% of the transported gas volume.
