    RESIDENTS OF AZERBAIJANI VILLAGE WANT TO BE PART OF GEORGIA

    15:56 31/03/2014 >> SOCIETY

    The residents of Shinikh village of Azerbaijani Gedabey region which
    is located on the border with Armenia are looking for opportunities
    to move to Georgia. They explain their decision by the fact that
    State Oil Company of Azerbaijan (SOCAR) in the near future will start
    the implementation of the project of the gasification of Georgia,
    while they are freezing cold and no trees are left in the woods for
    their furnace. As the Azerbaijani news portal Haqqin.az reports,
    the villagers said about this in their appeal.

    "We don't have any other choice. In order to become consumers of
    Azerbaijani gas, we need to become the citizens of Georgia," the
    villagers said.

    They are surprised that the settlements located on the border with
    Armenia are still not supplied with gas. The residents of these
    settlements for many years have been living in harsh conditions but
    nobody cares about the improvement of their living conditions. "There
    is no heat in our houses; we still use woods to heat them, while
    SOCAR instead of thinking in the first place about its citizens,
    supplies Azerbaijani gas to the neighboring country."

    Haqqin.az notes that 28 villages in the area of Shinikh are not
    supplied with gas. "We ask Rognav Abdullayev (SOCAR president-ed.)
    whether we need to resettle in Georgia, become the citizens of Georgia
    to be able to make use of Azerbaijani gas. If our country has gas
    resources, if its amount is so big that you sell it to neighboring
    countries then why you don't deliver gas to the regions of Azerbaijan?

    Why you close your eyes to the felling of trees by the villagers
    for heating purposes? We have no other choice. You proudly report
    that Azerbaijan delivers gas to the most remote villages of Georgia,
    how can we understand this?" the residents of the region asked.

    The portal notes that there has already appeared information in media
    that SOCAR has already finished the construction of gas pipeline
    in Surami village of Georgian region of Khashur. The length of the
    pipeline is 14.5 km, which will result in the delivery of Azerbaijani
    gas to 1000 Georgian houses. It is emphasized that SOCAR provides 75%
    of Georgian gas, while the subsidiary company of SOCAR Georgia Gas
    controls the delivery.

    It is noted in the article that President Ilham Aliyev in 2013 aimed
    to deliver natural gas to 95% of the population. "The aim is note
    achieved, gasification covers only 85-88% of the territory of the
    country, while the gasification of Georgia is conducted in full swing,"
    the author states.

    According to the article, in the current situation, the residents
    of Gedabey region have no choice but to declare about their
    self-determination and together with their territory become a part
    of Georgia. The cost of that will be much cheaper. In this way they
    don't have to leave their houses, their ancestors' graves and resettle
    in new places.
