Georgia, Tbilisi, Jan. 6 / Trend , N.Kirtskhalia / Georgia denies the report released by Russian
media about the readiness to resume natural gas delivery to South Ossetia. A
Ministry reported to Trend on Jan. 6 that the resumption of gas delivery
was impossible because of the damage to the gas pipe in the territory of S. Ossetia controlled by Russia.

but Russia blocked this proposal.
The Georgian Parliament stated that besides technical issues, there was a legislative decision, which interfere company's functioning in the territory of S.Ossetia and therefore this issue must be solved within legislative framework.
