If Georgia really considers Armenia a friendly state, it should sell section of Armenia-Russia gas pipeline, passing through its territory, to Yerevan, Shirak Torosyan, head of Javakhk union, Republican party MP told NEWS.am.

“If the pipeline is sold to not to Russian or Armenian but Azerbaijani company, taking into account principle of presumption of innocence, it is supposed to be just a business project that Azerbaijani want to realize. However, I doubt it,” he noted. In case the pipeline is sold to Azerbaijan, the country will try to pose obstacles to Armenia’s gas supply. “They will have problems with Russia as a supplier. If Georgian side creates additional problems for us and bears obstacles to our gas supply, it should be regarded as enmity of one country towards another,” he added.

State Oil Company of Azerbaijan intends to purchase section of the Armenia-Russia gas pipeline passing through Georgia’s territory. Company has already applied to the owner - Georgian gas company.
