/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Inhabitants of Armenian village of Bavra (Shirak
region) can, in the near future, proceed with their agricultural work
on the lands where we prohibited entrance of Georgian frontier
troops. Two days ago, RA Vice Premier convened a working discussion
over the recent incident on border, Koryun Sunbulyan, community
governor of Bavra village told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. `During the
meeting, I was informed that Georgian Co-Chair of Armenian-Georgian
demarcation committee was removed from post. Thereafter, the Georgian
side invaded the village, violating the agreement,’ Head of rural
community said.

Georgian side, according to him, argued the decision by the 1947
agreement which stipulates that certain land plots belong to
Georgia. `But under the 1927 agreement, our village belongs to
Armenia. Besides, in early 1990s, village inhabitants were given
ownership certificates entitling them to use those lands as their
property,’ Sumbulyan stated.
