`WITHDRAWAL OF MILITARY STATIONS FROM GEORGIA WILL DEPRIVE RUSSIA’S MILITARY
PRESENCE IN ARMENIA IN A SENSE’

The Moscow based Commersant newspaper expressed the idea that the
withdrawal of Russian military stations from Georgia will deprive
Russia’s military presence in Armenia in a sense. The loss of Russia’s
influence in Georgia will inevitably weaken Russia’s position in all
South Caucasus, the newspaper underscored.

“The road leading to the Russian military station in Armenia stretches
through the territory of Georgia. That is why the presence of the
Russian military stations in Georgia is a guarantee for Moscow that
the road will not be blocked. If we have to communicate with the
Russian military station in Armenia through air, this communication
will be instable,” the Liberty Radio Station cited Commersant.
