“Azerbaijan supports the agreement obtained between the sides on
withdrawing the Russian military bases from the Georgian territory”.

This was informed to the journalists by the foreign affairs
deputy-minister of Azerbajan Araz Azimov.

According to the words of the FAM official, Azerbaijan is displeased
with the wish of Moscow to place some part of the military equipment
to be withdrawn from Georgia in Armenia.

“Azerbaijan has already sent a note in the connection of this problem,
and we are waiting for the response. Transporting the military bases
situated in Georgia to Armenia does not conform to the interest of
Azerbaijan including the interest of all countries of the region. I
think that there is no need to establish foreign military bases in
the Southern Caucasus. We consider that keeping the foreign military
bases in the region is contrary to the interests of all nations living
in this region”.
