BP had shut down the BZC pipeline due to sabotage in Turkey two days before war broke out in Georgia. They shut down the pipeline from Poti on the Black Sea also.

According to BP they have started the pipeline in Baku, yesterday I believe. There is an interesting back story on BP and their dispute with Russia The BP CEO of the spun off Russian Company has left Russia and in undisclosed location. Some sort of Russian corporate shenagins. Considering the stories about the Russian criminal infiltration in corporations that may be part of it, but I do not know.
