Spokesman of British Petroleum has refuted the allegation of Georgia about Russia’s air attacks on the oil pipeline.
According to Georgia, Russia’s jets unsuccessfully attacked Baku-Tbilisi-Geyhan pipeline Saturday. They fired 51 missiles and explosion craters are seen at the distance of a few dozen meters from the facilities.
The thorough check didn’t reveal any traces of bombing in the pipeline area, said a representative of BP. Some employees of BP are still in Georgia but they will probably leave the country after the British Foreign Office urged all British residents to hasten out of it while the air traffic is available and the border is open.
