Akhalkalaki, 13 September: Despite the existing problems with
residents of Georgia’s Borjomi and Akhalkalaki Districts, the
construction of the Georgian section of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil
pipeline, in general, will be finished at the end of October, the
president of BP Azerbaijan, David Woodward has said.
He said that neither the residents’ protests nor the Georgian-Ossetian
conflict would have an influence on the pipeline
construction. ”Enough people are working on the construction of the
pipeline, which will allow us to finish it on time,” Woodward said.
But it cannot be ruled out that the residents of Borjomi and
Akhalkalaki Districts will attempt to hinder the construction.
