Monastery on Azerbaijan and Georgia border sparks tension

Tensions have been rising over the demarcation between Georgia and Azerbaijan's border, after part of a monastery was closed off by Azeri border guards.

The Davit Gareji monastery lies on the border between Azerbaijan and Georgia, but the two ex-Soviet countries both claim it lies within their territory.
