Samtskhe-Javakheti to Supply Food for Armed Forces

Civil Georgia, Tbilisi / 2005-08-10 11:36:43

The Georgian Ministry of Defense (MoD) launched on August 10 measures
aimed at procuring agricultural products for Georgian armed forces in
the Samtskhe-Javakheti region.

The initiative is a part of a state social program for this region
that will help ease the economic consequences that will result from
the withdrawal of the Russian military base from the predominately
Armenian-populated town of Akhalkalaki, in Samtskhe-Javakheti.

According to the Defense Ministry, special information stations will
be set up on August 10 in the Akhalkalaki and Ninotsminda districts
which will disseminate information about the amount of food-stuffs
needed in the army. A special group from the Defense Ministry’s
Procurements Department will work in the Samtskhe-Javakheti region for
a week to study the situation at the scene.Samtskhe-Javakheti to
