Thanks for this illustrative,rational, explanatory, quality- orientated and enlightening article, better to say information for those who are concerned with this reduntant action.I hope at least one of them will read this and bring it to the ears of the President.And i ask; why not use this expected large sum of taxpayer's money to develop these areas. Or political ambitions are behind this creation of new regions?
