YEREVAN, JANUARY 17, ARMENPRESS. Georgia’s President Giorgi Margvelashvili says the deal with “Gazprom Export” will harm the country, Margvelashvili’s spokesperson Eka Mishveladze told reporters on January 17.

Georgia accepted the Gazprom Export deal to shift to monetary payment for Russia -Armenia gas transit, instead of gas. In addition, according to the agreement, in case of necessity Georgia will receive the gas from Russia for 185 USD per 1000 cubic meters, not 215 USD.

“With the signing of this deal the country’s energy sector was worsened, Georgia’s economic and political interests were harmed. In the end we got a worsened situation in different directions, which in the future might be followed by several problems”, Mishveladze said.

The President urged the Parliament to take actions.

“The President of the country urges the Parliament to fulfill its constitutional obligation: heighten the control function, as well as propose a plan in terms of how to overcome and reduce to minimum the expected risks and threats”, the President’s representative said.
