Tbilisi. March 31 (Prime-News) – The agreement on deadlines for
withdrawal of the Russian military bases from Georgia, signed in
Sochi on Friday is of historic importance, Irakli Okruashvili,
Georgian Defense Minister says.
“We have made certain concessions with regard to the time table;
we know that so much time is not necessary for the bases withdrawal
but we agreed with certain arguments by the Russian party”, Irakli
Okruashvili said at the briefing in Tbilisi on Friday.
According to him, the Georgian party committed itself to let military
cargoes for the Russian military bases in Armenia pass through Georgia.
“It may be considered as a compromise as well, but those cargoes
must not be dangerous for the region even in the slightest way”,
Irakli Okruashvili said.
