12:23 - 07.05.11
Around 150 hectares of Georgian lands have reportedly emerged into
Azerbaijan's territory after Alazani River overflowed.
According to the Georgian news website Apsny.ge, Shota Jamaspishvili,
a representative of the Movement for Fair Georgia, said that
Azerbaijan always takes measures to strengthen the river bank so that
to avoid flooding, something Georgia does not.
Alazani River is the main tributary of the Kura in eastern Georgia,
and flows for 351 km. Part of its path forms the border between
Georgia and Azerbaijan, before it meets the Kura at the Mingechaveir
Reservoir.
Jamaspishvili also said that Georgia lost those 150 hectares of land
after the river changed its course.
`Very soon the Azerbaijani population will take control of those
lands, and it will be very difficult for Georgia to return them,' said
Jamaspishvili.
