FRADKOV: WITHDRAWAL OF THE RUSSIAN BASES FROM GEORGIA TO ARMENIA
DOESN’T POSE A THREAT TO AZERBAIJAN

Movement of some Russian military bases from Georgia to Armenia
doesn’t pose a threat to Azerbaijan, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail
Fradkov told the journalists in Tbilisi after his meeting with
Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili; Fradkov noted that Russia is
withdrawing the bases under the specified schedule and all problems
would gradually be solved. (…) With regard to a note of protest
lodged by Azerbaijan, which displayed its anxiety for movement of
extra armaments to Armenia, the Armenian Defense Ministry came out
with a statement which reads that movement of some military hardware
from Russian military bases in Georgia to Armenia is regulated by the
bilateral Treaty on military cooperation and location of Russian
military bases to Armenia and commitments on the quotas envisaged in
the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe. (…)
