    Convoy detention a misunderstanding


    The detention of Russian military hardware at the Georgian-Armenian
    border was pure misunderstanding, said Vladimir Kuparadze, the
    official spokesman for Russian forces in Transcaucasia.
    "The senior officer forgot the necessary papers," he said. "The
    convoy will continue moving as soon as these papers are delivered."
    Georgian border guards stopped a convoy of Russian military hardware
    on the Armenian border Thursday.
    The state borders department of the Georgian Interior Ministry said
    the convoy, comprising four trucks and four armored vehicles, was
    heading from Akhalkalaki (Georgia) to Armenia.
    On inspection, Georgian border guards found five PKT machine guns and
    five signaling pistols and detained the convoy, which lacked the
    required documents.
