Guide : Azeri border guards took icons out the temples of Davit Gareji

Azeri border guards have taken the icons out the temples of Davit Gareji Udabno (desert), guide Zviad Ananiashvili told InterPressNews.

The guides intend to arrive in Davit Gateji and study the situation on the ground.

“As far as I know it, the fact caused tension between the local population and Azerbaijan border guards yesterday and due to this fact representatives of law enforcement agencies have arrived there. Nobody has contacted us from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Azeri border guards continue patrolling," Zviad Ananiashvili said.

Reportedly, the Azeri border guards took icons out the temples 4 days ago and handed them over to the Georgian clerics, saying the icons were placed on their territory.
