Thin on the left so far
None of the 8 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated left.
This story is still being watched, so it is a count and not yet a finding. Coverage keeps arriving for hours after an event, and a side that has published nothing this morning may publish by tonight. If it is still true when we stop checking, we will say so plainly.
Natural gas supplies from Russia to Armenia will be temporarily halted from September 15 to September 25. The interruption is necessary for planned maintenance and repair work on the North Caucasus-Transcaucasia main gas pipeline, according to Gazprom Armenia. The company stated that this work will be carried out on Russian territory.
Gazprom Armenia has indicated that the suspension will not compromise the reliability of gas supplies to Armenian consumers. The company plans to utilise domestic reserves and additional natural gas imports from Iran to meet demand during the maintenance period. Armenia imported 82% of its natural gas from Russia in the previous year.
Duration of suspension
Some reports state the suspension will last for 10 days, while others indicate it will be for 11 days. Anadolu Ajansı and vz.ru report an 11-day suspension, from September 15 to 25. BizToc reports a 10-day repair period. Devdiscourse, EADaily, Life.ru, oreanda-news.com, Interfax.ru, and 1prime.ru also state the dates as September 15 to 25, implying an 11-day period without explicitly stating the duration in days.
What the coverage left out
None of the centre or right-rated reports printed below mention the specific figure for Armenia's natural gas imports from Russia in the previous year. The centre-rated report from Devdiscourse mentions Armenia's heavy reliance on Russian gas, with 82% of its supply imported from Russia last year, but this figure is not present in the right-rated reports.

Questions about this coverage
- How did the left and right cover Russia to Suspend Gas Supplies to Armenia for 10 Days?
- Of the 8 outlets on this story carrying a published leaning rating, 0% are rated left, 37% are rated centre, 63% are rated right. Those percentages are shares of the rated outlets, not of every outlet that ran it, which was 18. The sections above set out what each side emphasised, in its own terms.
- Is Russia to Suspend Gas Supplies to Armenia for 10 Days left or right?
- Too few of the outlets on this story carry a published leaning rating to say. 8 of them do, and this site does not characterise a field under 12: at that size one newsroom filing moves the share by ten points. The percentages above are the count as it stands.
- Is the coverage of Russia to Suspend Gas Supplies to Armenia for 10 Days biased?
- Russia to Suspend Gas Supplies to Armenia for 10 Days is one event reported by 18 outlets, and this page does not rate the story as biased or unbiased. What it publishes is the spread: which outlets ran it, where named rating organisations place each of them on the spectrum, and what each side chose to lead with. A leaning rating describes an outlet's record over time, not this article, and the two should not be run together.
- Which side is not reporting Russia to Suspend Gas Supplies to Armenia for 10 Days?

- Which outlets covered Russia to Suspend Gas Supplies to Armenia for 10 Days?
- 18 that we know of, every one of them listed further up this page with a link to its own report and to what we hold on the publisher. Nothing here is a summary of somebody else's summary: the outlets are named so the original reporting can be read.
