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. ## Who covered it Shares of the 8 covering outlets with a published leaning rating: - Left: 0% (0) - Centre: 37% (3) - Right: 63% (5) 10 of 18 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages.

It stated that Gazprom's Armenian subsidiary announced the temporary halt due to maintenance on a Russian pipeline, scheduled from September 15 to September 25. The report noted that Armenia would rely on domestic gas resources and Iranian supplies to meet demand during this period. It also highlighted Armenia's heavy reliance on Russian gas, with 82% of its supply imported from Russia last year, and underscored the close energy ties and dependencies between Armenia and Moscow. ### Right - Right-rated reports from Anadolu Ajansı, EADaily, Interfax.ru, and vz.ru all led with the suspension of gas supplies from Russia to Armenia. Anadolu Ajansı reported the suspension would last for 11 days, from September 15 to 25, due to planned maintenance on the North Caucasus-Transcaucasia pipeline.
