Armenian servicemen will visit the Azerbaijani embassy in Georgia
where they will be granted entry visas to Baku. The spokesman for
the Armenian Defence Ministry, Seyran Shakhsuvaryan, has said that
NATO representatives have informed the Armenian side about this.

It is strange that information about the visas has been received not
from Azerbaijan, but from Brussels. Shakhsuvaryan also noted that
it is not yet clear whether Armenian officers will be granted visas
or whether they will return from Tbilisi to Yerevan empty-handed,
as has been the case before.
