The public organization of Jordan "Friends of Caucasian Adygs" has voiced against the so-called "Circasiad-2012", having explained it by the fact that the initiators of the project represent it as an event planned within the programme of the Olympiad-2014 in Sochi.

In Sochi, tenants of House No. 25 in the Ostrovskogo Street are revolted with felling perennial and bushes, finding it illegal.

They told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent that on the Christmas holiday unknown persons with "a permit on construction" of a commercial business centre and "a permit to fell the greenery", signed by city authorities, entered the pre-house territory and started cutting down valuable trees and bushes planted for the money from the resort treasury more than half a century ago.

After the residents of the Imereti Lowland, whose houses happened to get into the zone of Olympic construction, took an active part in a rally in Sochi, Natalia Kalinovskaya, chair of the local self-government partnership named "Psou", felt pressure from the authorities.

At the rally, Ms Kalinovskaya addressed the authorities with a demand "to take hands away from Sochi residents and Sochi children and stop saying lies and perverting the sense of events!"

The residents of the Imereti Lowland (Sochi, Krasnodar Territory), whose houses are within the Olympic construction zone, have held a rally in protest against a significant decrease of the earlier declared prices on their bought-out real estate, and against the absence of reliable and timely information about their forthcoming resettlement.

On December 6, the  Imereti residents demanded to stop the asphalt-concrete factory, built in violation of sanitary norms, just 30 meters off their apartment houses, and operated all day and night. Eventually, Sochi residents demanded respectful attitude of the city, regional and federal authorities.
