Georgia cedes 15 acres of land to Turkey![]() April 27, 2016 - 17:59 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Four decades after it was forced to cede a small plot of land to Georgia, Turkey took it back after Tbilisi and Ankara sealed a deal on the matter last week, Daily Sabah reports. The transfer of 15 acres of land took place as the plot in question was suddenly in Georgian territory when a small river changed its bed and divided the land located in Ardahan, a Turkish town on the Georgian border, in the 1970s. Georgia agreed to return the privately owned land divided by the Çaksu river, which serves as a natural frontier between the two countries. A new course will be set for the river so that the plot, the size of 15 football fields, will be back on the Turkish side. ![]() ![]() Azerbaijani authorities report that they have already resettled 3,000 people in the Nagorno-Karabakh town of Stepanakert.
