The Georgian government does not plan to sell the gas pipeline connecting Russia with Armenia, Georgian Prime Minister Nika Gilauri told a press conference in Yerevan on Wednesday.

According to him, the Georgian government has no intention to sell control stock of strategic facilities, including the gas pipeline.

As Armenian News-NEWS.am reported earlier, Pavel Kublashvili, the Chairman of the Committee for Legal Affairs, Georgian Parliament, proposed a sale of the gas main.

Speaking in Parliament on July 2, Georgian Prime Minister Nikoloz Gilauri stated the possibility of putting 10-15% of the gas main shares up for sale at the London Stock Exchange. Media reports also say Azerbaijan intends to purchase the shares.
