Uzbekistan stops gas shipments to Tajikistan
Uzbekistan stopped gas shipments to Tajikistan Wednesday morning as the agreement between Tajikistan and Uzbekistan on gas supplies in 2011 expired, ASIA-Plus reported.
Davlat Nazri, a spokesman for the Tajik Foreign ministry, told reporters that Tajikistan has repeatedly applied to Uzbekistan regarding signing of an agreement on Uzbek natural gas shipments to Tajikistan in 2012.
"Thus, top managers from Tojiktransgaz (Tajik natural-gas distributor) asked their colleagues from Uztransgaz (Uzbekistan’s state gas producer) in August 2011 to meet to discuss the Uzbek gas shipments to Tajikistan in 2012," said Nazri.
