AKHALKALAK, JUNE 14, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. The
SPI-Capag-Petrofac company carrying out the construction of the
Baku-Ceyhan oil pipeline in the territory of Georgia has inflicted a
land damage to the village of Ghado, Akhalkalak region, for using sand
necessary for the construction and has been refusing to compensate
the damage up to this day.
According to the A-Info agency, at the construction company they
explain that the land used by them belongs to the state and they
have the respective licence for using it from the Ministry of Nature
Protection.
The residents of Ghado insist that the sand used for the oil pipeline's
construction is taken from the territory belonging to them and they
have the respective certificate of public ownership. Besides, the
residents of Ghado mention that a compensation in a large amount was
given in other regions when the territories of Georgian villages were
used for the same purposes. For the present, the inhabitants of Ghado
hope for the justice of the Georgian law-enforcement bodies. The
case made up on the basis of their complaints has already reached
the Georgian Prosecutor General's Office.
