On 29 September, 2010, the Russian occupant forces commenced the illegal "border demarcation works" in the Shida Kartli region.

This activity undertaken by Russia violates the ceasefire agreement of 12 August, 2008 and represents yet another provocation leading to further restricting the right of free movement of the Georgian citizens residing in the occupied regions and the adjacent areas, and violating their property rights. Such activities will also create additional obstacles to supplying water to the adjoining territories, and especially to the Ditsi village.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia demands Russia to immediately cease the provocation, and calls upon the international community to provide a respective reaction on the illegal activity.
