BAKU, June 30 — The redeployment of Russian troops from a military
base in Georgia to Armenia is Russia’s internal affair, Turkish Prime

talks with Azerbaijan’s President lkham Aliyev.
“Russia has this right and it has used it,” Erdogan said in reply
to journalists’ questions. He specifically pointed out that the
redeployment of troops had no bearing on Turkey.
