Russia to move some military hardware to Armenia – Chief of Staff
MOSCOW. May 19 (Interfax) – The Russian military bases will be
withdrawn from Georgia to the Russian territory, while some of the
bases’ hardware will be deployed in Armenia, Chief of the Russian
General Staff Gen. Yury Baluyevsky told Interfax on Thursday.
“The bases will be certainly withdrawn to the territory of Russia,”
he said.
Yet some of the military hardware and property will be moved to
Armenia, he said. “That will help us to reduce the withdrawal period
to four years,” he added.
“It is impossible to build an infrastructure for the military hardware
and property on the Russian territory within four years,” he said.
