The Georgian Parliament is discussing the new draft Land Code which
has been adopted by first reading.

In the draft law a number of deputies have offered to introduce a
special point. According to it, the only land-owner in the 5-kilometre
border zone can be recognized the country. If the offer is accepted,
it will have e negative effect on the grave social conditions of the
Armenians and Azeris living near the borderline.

During the first discussion of the draft law the offer has bee rejected
by the State Minister Kakha Bendukidze and a number of other deputies.
