Georgian Energy Minister, Kakha Kaladze, said on Wednesday that he plans to visit Tehran in mid-November to discuss “whether it’s possible to bring” Iranian natural gas.
 
Ex-PM Bidzina Ivanishvili said Georgia should diversify its gas supplies, including through purchasing additional gas from Russia, as well as through import and transit of Iranian gas.

Kaladze, who met Gazprom chief executive Alexei Miller in Milan on October 26, said that talks with the Russian state-controlled energy giant over possible commercial supplies are still ongoing and “no agreement is yet reached.”

“Of course we try to get more benefits from these talks,” he told journalists after a government session on October 28.
