The council of the Armenian public organizations of
Samtskhe-Dzhavakheti discussed the withdrawal of Russia’s military
bases from Georgia at a meeting today.
The council urged the residents of the Dzhavakheti region to show
understanding for the issue, which has already been decided, of
withdrawing Russian troops from Akhalkalaki, as it is up to the
governments of Russia and Georgia to resolve the problem, A-info
reported.
The source says that the military base in Akhalkalaki is helping
people resolve some of their economic problems and ensures their
security at the same time.
“If the Georgian government cannot fully ensure the security of
Dzhavakheti residents, they will have to pin their hopes on the
international community and seek assistance from international law,”
the source said.
The talks on defining the date for the withdrawal of the Russian bases
from Georgia will end in Tbilisi today.
