Another convoy of the Russian 62nd military base at Akhalkalaki
departed for Armenia on Thursday, a source at the base headquarters
told Interfax-AVN by telephone.
"The convoy is made up of 18 wheeled vehicles and six guns. They are
headed for the Armenian city of Gyumri, where Russia has the 102nd
base," the source said.
Seventeen vehicles carrying 106 tonnes of ammunition departed for
Gyumri from Akhalkalaki earlier this month.
The 12th train carrying armaments of Russian bases in Georgia departed
for Russia from the Tsalka railroad station two days ago.
The train was carrying 22 self-propelled guns and 72 tonnes of
ammunition and other military property.
Seven trains carrying armaments and property of the 62nd base and the
12th base in Batumi departed for Russia through Azerbaijan. Another
four trains left Batumi for Armenia.
Russian military bases are to be withdrawn from Georgia by 2008.
