The Ministry of Economic Development in Georgia announced that it would sell three military ships that Russian troops allegedly sank in the Georgian port of Poti during the 5-day war in August.
The ministry announced on Thursday that the three ill-fated ships, the Dioskuria, Tskaltubo and Tbilisi,would be sold -but there is a catch. The buyer has to raise the ships from the sea bottom and remove them from the harbor waters.
Salvaging a ship is an expensive business and that is why the price of each ship has been set at a symbolic US$10 dollars.
