"If we are not allowed to erect a cross, the war will happen here," - resident of Kumurdo village

Restoration works in the village of Kumurdo were resumed. The Security Police remains in place. Despite the fact that restoration works have been resumed since morning, the locals say that restaurators do not take care of the tombs of their ancestors. That`s why they ask for permission to erect a cross.

"If we are not allowed to erect a cross, the war will happen here," - said one of the locals.

The confrontation between the inhabitants of the village of Kumurdo and the police began yesterday, when local people tried to enter the village church and erect a cross on the graves in the yard. Because of the restoration work in the temple, the parish was not allowed to enter by the Security Police. The situation was so tense that it was necessary to call the police and special forces..

Four police officers were injured during the confrontation between law enforcers and locals. Police cars are damaged.
