Gazprom Kyrgyzstan has threatened to turn off the gas supply to flat glass manufacturer Interglass.

The gas company said it would disconnect Interglass due to unpaid debts amounting to 1,117,400,000 of Kyrgyzstan soms ($15 million).

According to Gazprom Kyrgyzstan, it has not stopped trying to settle the matter out of court, and has tried to initiate meetings with Interglass. It has, to date, not turned off the gas supply due to the social importance of the plant.

It said that a delay in the repayment of the debt jeopardises external suppliers of natural gas.
