    Georgia starts preparations for NATO exercise

    Tbilisi. (Interfax-AVN) - Seven officers of the U.S. European Command
    left for the Georgian region of Ajaria on Thursday to discuss details
    of the upcoming Rescuer/Medceur command post and military medical
    exercise with local administrations.

    The military medical part of the NATO-sponsored exercise scheduled
    for September 2005 will take place in the Ajarian autonomous
    republic, "and it is time to determine the facilities that will be
    involved in it," Omar Begoidze, chief of the Partnership for Peace
    coordination headquarters in the Georgian General Staff, told
    Interfax-Military News Agency.

    Tbilisi will host the planning conference of the exercise from
    December 6 to 9, he said. In addition to Ajaria, the exercise will be
    hosted by the locality of Vaziani not far from Tbilisi.
    Georgia hosted previous exercises of this type in 2000 and 2003.

    The conference will involve 73 officers representing the U.S.,
    Georgia, Albania, Armenia, Moldova, Latvia, Germany, Ukraine,
    Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria and Macedonia, Begoidze said.

    "All these countries will send their servicemen for the exercise in
    2005, and Ukraine and Croatia have displayed special interest in the
    event," he said.
    "Unfortunately, Russia does not send its representatives," Begoidze
    added.
