/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Russian planes don’t take off from Armenia to raid
Georgia, RA Defense Minister’s spokesman, colonel Seyran Shahsuvaryan
told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
"This is nothing but provocation and misinformation. There are no
bombers at the 102 military bas in Gyumri. Furthermore, taking off
from Armenia, the planes’ route would lie over Tbilisi and the Georgian
anti-missile system would detect them," he said.
Yesterday, some Georgian media circulated information that Russians
planes may have taken off from the Armenian territory. The Azeri press
took up the information concluding that "planes from Russian military
base in Armenia were enabled in bombing of the Georgian territory."
