Georgian media report that 12 Georgian servicemen originally from
Armenia left the military unit stationed in the town of Akhaltsikh
because of barracks hazing. They gave up to the administration of the
town of Akhalkalaki and refuse to return to the military unit. The
soldiers state that Georgian soldiers extorted money and humiliated
them. They feared to complain to the command. The Georgian Defense
Ministry started an investigation.
