Russia Starts Moving Arms to Armenia
Russia has started moving its weaponry from Georgia to Armenia.

The arms and military machinery of the 12th Russian military base,
which was earlier located in the Batumi city of Georgia, have been
deployed in a military base in the Gumru district of Armenia, Russian
Interfax news agency reported.

Russia is sending weapons and military equipment to Armenia in
accordance with the previously-approved plan, Azerbaijani TV channels
quoted the Transcaucasus Command of the Russian Armed Forces as saying.

This is the third cargo echelon, which includes 15 carriages loaded
with weaponry and ammunition, dispatched from Batumi thus far.
