BP plans to use UK tax-payers’ money to help fund a highly controversial 1,750 km oil pipeline through Turkey, Georgia and Azerbaijan. The pipeline threatens to cause huge social and environmental disruption and will fuel conflict in an unstable area.

The Baku Ceyhan Campaign is pleased to welcome two guests from Azerbaijan and Georgia, coming to the UK as part of a European tour to raise awareness about the Baku-T'bilisi-Ceyhan pipeline. Manana Kochladze and Mayis Gulaliyev will participate in a public meeting to discuss the impacts of the pipeline on their countries - to which we've also invited BP and AMEC, the two key UK firms involved in the project.

Admission is free but donations to the campaign will be gladly accepted. Please come along and bring your friends: the great pipeline debate, new theatre, LSE, houghton street, london wc2
