Moscow, 14 June: The withdrawal of some hardware from Russian military
bases in Georgia to Armenia should not arouse concern in Azerbaijan,
the chief of the General Staff of the Russian armed forces, Army Gen
Yuriy Baluyevskiy, has told journalists at a briefing at the Russian
Defence Ministry.
"I have already said that, given the tight schedule for the closure
of Russian military bases in Georgia (by the end of 2008 - Interfax
note), some hardware may have to be redeployed in Armenia, at the
102nd base in Gyumri," Baluyevskiy said.
He stressed that "this hardware will not change the balance of forces
in the region under the Conventional Forces in Europe treaty and it
does not pose a threat to the countries of this region".
