/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Today the withdrawal of the Russian military
equipment from the 62-nd base located in Akhalkalaki, the center of
the Armenian-populated Samtskhe Javakhati region of Georgia started.
The first autocade consisting of 11 staff vehicles and vehicles
of technical support made for the town of Mtskhet situated 300 km
from Tbilisi. Then it will cross the Russian-Georgian state border
through Verkhni Lars checkpoint. However, the autocade cannot cross
the border according to the schedule, as heavy rains have eroded a
30-meter sector of the road. The Georgian authorities forbade traffic
along the Military Georgian highway in the direction of Verkhni Lars
checkpoint, IA Regnum reports.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
