Russian Gas Pipeline Ruptures

According to ArmeniaLiberty, the section of the pipeline going through Georgia has been damaged.

Armenia was receiving a fraction of its regular gas supplies from Russia for a third consecutive day on Wednesday due to the reported rupture at a vital pipeline running through neighboring Georgia.

Georgian officials say a section of the pipeline was ruptured by an avalanche on Sunday. Armenia has since been importing Russian gas through a much smaller reserve pipeline.

Russian gas is used for generating about 40 percent of Armenia's electricity. It is also the principal source of winter heating.

And yet again, our previous post makes perfect sense!
