Residents of the Armenian-populated villages of Tapatskhur and Molit
in Georgia’s Borjomi District have staged another protest action
against BP, the contractor of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline.
A-Info news agency reports that the organizers of this action believe
that BP has not paid them full compensation for constructing the
pipeline on the territory of these villages.
In protest against this, the residents of these villages hampered work
on the pipeline on 28 June. Georgian Minister of Natural Resources and
Environmental Protection Giorgi Papuashvili has visited the scene of
the incident. He promised the villagers to solve the problem of
compensation.
