Moscow/Tbilisi - Russian gas deliveries to Armenia broke off Friday when a pipeline ruptured in southern Georgia, Georgia's energy minister said.
"The gas pipeline has been damaged and the gas leak is significant so this morning we fully suspended gas transit to Armenia," Alexandre Khetaguri was quoted by local media as saying.
In a televised statement, he said it would take at least five days to complete repair work and resume supplies, adding Armenia should pull from its gas reserves.
