SADDAM HUSSEIN IS THE HOPE OF AZERBAIJANI OIL INDUSTRY
A manifestation of protest against the construction of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline was held Tuesday in Tbilisi. The action organized by the ''Green Alternative'' association and 'For Just Georgia'' movement was held behind the Tbilisi office of the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development. Georgian ecologists demand that the bank refuse financing of the construction of the oil pipeline, as it represents a threat for the ecology of the country and the whole region.
