Published in News Digest

By empty (1/26/2006 issue of the CACI Analyst)

Georgia is in fact facing an energy blockade, Georgian Prime Minister Zurab Nogaideli said. \"Mainly this deals with the sabotage at a cross-country gas pipeline and the suspiciously long time the repair work on Russian territory is taking,\" Nogaideli said at a briefing on Thursday. The Georgian government takes all measures to stabilize the situation: in particular, it is planned to increase electrical energy deliveries to Georgia from Armenia and Azerbaijan, he said.
