1. (SBU) Itera-Georgia confirmed on Saturday, January 24
that it received approval from the Russian Government
(reftel) to import gas from GazProm to sell to South Ossetia.
Itera-Georgia repressurized the line and began supplying
natural gas to South Ossetia early on January 24. This
resumes the supply that had been halted following the August
war due to pipeline damage. Despite lack of access to the
territory through which the pipeline runs, Georgia continues
to be cooperative in supplying gas.
