Turkey agrees to supply Georgia power
Russia sent forces into Georgia to repel a Georgian assault on the breakaway region and Georgia's pro-Western president said the two countries were at war.
"Under an agreement, Turkey was receiving electricity from Georgia until the evening of August 7. But after the latest developments Georgia requested 30-40 MW (megawatts) of electricity," the ministry source said.
"We gave a positive response," he said.
Under the power agreement between the two countries, the neighbours supply or receive electricity depending on fluctuating demand.
Turkey and Georgia have limited trade links but last month they launched a railway project together with Azerbaijan, building on links forged by gas and oil piplines across the region.

VANCOUVER - For the first time since it began tracking electricity use in the province during Earth Hour, BC Hydro said customers used more power during the 60-minute period when lights are expected to dim.
The World Wildlife Fund launched Earth Hour in Sydney, Australia in 2007. Residents and businesses there turned off lights and non-essential power as a symbol to mark the importance of combating climate change.
The event was adopted in B.C. the next year and, as part of that, BC Hydro began tracking the megawatt hours saved.
