    Georgian border guards stop convoy on Georgia-Armenia border

    Georgian border guards have stopped a convoy on the Georgian-Armenian
    border.

    Sources in the Georgian Border Guard Department told Itar-Tass on
    Thursday, "An armoured vehicle was loaded with five pistols and five
    guns. Russia has no documents on this equipment." To this end,
    Georgia asked Russian military "to give documents on equipment." The
    convoy includes four trucks and four armoured vehicles.

    Commander of Russian troops in Transcaucasia Vladimir Kuparadze told
    Itar-Tass, "Pistols and guns are armoured vehicles' set that is why
    there is no special document on their withdrawal. In order to settle
    the incident the command of Russia's base will prepare necessary
    documents and deliver them to the checkpoint."

    Kuparadze said hardware is withdrawn from Akhalkalaki in compliance
    with the Russian-Georgian agreement on the pullout of the bases. The
    most part of hardware will be pulled out to Russia and the rest of
    them to Armenia.
