Gazprom might limit gas shipments to Georgia
MOSCOW. June 15 (Interfax) - Gazprom might move to limit gas shipments to Georgia, the company's deputy
executive board chairman Alexander Ryazanov announced at a Tuesday press conference in Moscow.
Gazprom management plans to meet with Georgian representatives to discuss issues of Georgian debt, for which there
has yet to be a payment schedule, Ryazanov reported. Georgia owes $12 million for gas; factoring in debts for gas
supplied earlier Georgia's overall debts are reaching $50-$60 million.
Ryazanov said Gazprom has suggested to Georgia the setting up of a joint venture for upgrading the trunk gas pipeline
running through Georgia to Armenia, but a decision has yet to be made. [RU EUROPE EEU ASIA EMRG GG NGS ENR DBT] cf
