    GEORGIA EXPANDS TERRITORY AT ARMENIA'S EXPENSE

    13:44 / 08/26/2009Georgian authorities decided to extend territories
    at the expense of Shirak region, Armenia, while Georgian frontier
    guards now and then occupy Armenian territories.

    Georgian border guards push as far as for dozen meters to Armenian
    land on Armenian -Georgian border (Shirak region sector), Aravot
    daily reports. Though the locals have title deeds and plots, however
    Georgian frontier guards ignore these documents, asserting that not
    yet specified sectors of Armenian-Georgian border should be obtained
    in Georgia's interests. The issue is extremely topical in Bavra
    village. Koryun Sumbulyan, village community head informed the daily
    that locals cannot enter their territories of 3 km and 408 meters.

    Demarcation commission on Armenian-Georgian border at RA Foreign
    Ministry did not give the definite answer to Sumbulyan. He was advised
    to dispose the land as he finds it expedient in the RA Ministry of
    Territorial Administration. However Georgian frontier guards keep on
    imposing obstacles while Armenian ones are silent.

    Georgian side claimed of the allegedly existing treaty dated 1947,
    under which the mentioned territories belong to Georgia. As far as
    villagers unavailingly try to protect their property rights, the
    issue overgrew into a serious intergovernmental problem. According
    to some political analysts, Armenian-Georgian relations are tensed,
    being unsettled within first 20 years of the contemporary history.

    NEWS.am delegated a reporter to investigate the situation in the spot.
