Gazprom: No backdown on plans to build skyscraper in Minsk

Plans to close down the Gazprom representative office in Belarus have nothing to do with the construction of the Russian company's office at the place of the former Maskouski bus station in Minsk.

Euroradio learned this from the Gazprom representative Syargei Kupryianau. He said that the closure of representative offices in Belarus is due to the fact that Gazprom is no longer a stranger in this country.

Kupryianau: "Well, when we were strangers in Belarus, we needed a representative office. And now we have there a 100% owned subsidiary. A representative office employed three people who worked there when Beltransgaz was a foreign company to us. Now it is our company Gazprom transgaz Belarus, and there is simply no need for another office in these circumstances".

Euroradio asked Mr Kupryianau if Gazprom will give up on on the construction of the skyscraper on the site of the already destroyed bus station Maskouski. He was brief about it: "There have no change of plans regarding this project".
