Akhalkalaki, 26 April: With the onset of spring, dissatisfaction among
residents of the Samtskhe-Javakheti region [Georgia’s
Armenian-populated region] has increased against the construction of
the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan [BTC] oil pipeline again.
Residents of the village of Glde of Georgia’s Akhalkalaki District
complained about workers building the oil pipeline. The residents said
that the builders had damaged a 10 km water pipeline in the village
and demanded its restoration.
It is surprising that the national security employees of Akhalkalaki
District discovered 10 anti-tank mines as they looked into the
complains. The mines had been planted near the oil pipeline and had no
detonators.
