AKHALKALAK, JUEN 26, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. By the decision
of the Georgian Department on Border Defence, the number of frontier
posts was added in the Georgian part of the Armenian-Georgian border:
a new post was opened in the village of Kalinino of the region of
Ninotsminda.
At the same time, according to the "A-Info" agency, the control of
the Georgian-Turkish border from the Georgian side was weakened.
According to the same source, at present, the number of soldiers on
watch in the part of the Ninotsminda region of the Georgian-Turkish
border is fewer than the number of servicemen in the part of the
Ninotsminda region of the Armenian-Georgian border. Moreover, the
Georgian-Turkish part is longer one of the mentioned two parts of
the state border.
