AKHALKALAK, August 4 (Noyan Tapan). The village of Tsikhisjvari of the
Borzhom region also expresses protest against construction of the
Baku-Tbilisi-Jeyhan oil-pipeline. This village is populated with
Armenians, Georgians and Greeks. According to the A-Info agency, the
patience of the residents of the above-mentioned village was exhausted
in late July. The residents of the village closed the
Bakuriani-Tapatsghuri road as a token of protest. The sector of the
road passing through Tsikhisjvari was damaged beacuse of constant
running of the “British Peroleum” (BP) heavy lorries. The most part of
the waterpipe supplying the village with water is out of order. The BP
machines also damaged the bridge of the village. The BP
representatives met with the residents of the village and promised
them to restore the road and the bridge.
