Russia temporarily halted gas supplies to Armenia on Monday for four days to conduct planned maintenance on a major gas pipeline, Gazprom Armenia said.
In a statement, Gazprom Armenia - a subsidiary of Russia's gas giant Gazprom - said it was temporarily suspending gas exports from 8 a.m. local time (04:00 GMT) on Monday May 1 until 8 p.m. (16:00 GMT) on Thursday May 4.
It said maintenance work was being carried out on a section of the 'North Caucasus-Transcaucasia' gas pipeline in Russia's Stavropol region and that it would use reserves to continue supplying gas to consumers in Armenia.
Gazprom Armenia (100% subsidiary of Gazprom) is the operator of the gas supply and distribution network in Armenia.
