Artsakh shuts down gas fueling stations
Natural gas fueling stations in Stepanakert and the regions of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) will be closed from Tuesday 24 January amid Azerbaijan’s disruption of the gas supply from Armenia to Artsakh, the Artsakh InfoCenter reported.
“The gas supply from Armenia to Artsakh remains suspended due to Azerbaijan’s intervention. In recent days, it was possible to supply gas to healthcare facilities, bread bakeries, as well as gas fueling stations to some extent due to the gas accumulation in the pipelines,” it said in a statement.
“However, given the queues at gas fueling stations and the limited volume of gas, it has been decided that the accumulated gas will from now on be provided only to healthcare facilities and other essential facilities, while the operation of gas fueling stations will be suspended until the gas supply is restored. In order to ensure the uninterrupted operation of organizations rendering public services, the vehicles of these organizations will be provided with gasoline and diesel fuel,” the Artsakh InfoCenter added.
