The Armenian population of Akhalkalaki [southern Georgia] is
protesting against demands for the withdrawal of the Russian military
base there. They have gathered in the centre of the town and are
supporting the Russian military base. Their demands include the
opening of a passport office in Akhalkalaki and repairs to local
roads, but the main issue is Russian military support for the
town. The protesters are waving banners in the street.
