Parliament deputies expressed collective concern on 7 December over the confrontation in Georgia\'s Marneuli Raion on 3 December in which an elderly Azerbaijani woman was shot dead. They accused Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili of failing to abide by his pre-election pledge to end discrimination against Georgia\'s 500,000-strong Azerbaijani community. As one example of such discrimination, parliament speaker Murtuz Alesqerov noted that not a single Azerbaijani was hired to work on the construction of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline. Alesqerov called for the creation of a four-person commission that will travel to the predominantly Azerbaijani-populated southeastern districts of Georgia and compile a report on conditions there.
