Samtskhe-Javakheti to Supply Food for Armed Forces

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.
