    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Residents of Akhalkalaki, the center of the
    Armenian-inhabited Samtskhe-Javakheti region of Georgia, the way for
    an armed communication vehicle belonging to the 62nd Russian base and
    demand its return to the base. "This signifies the start of withdrawal
    of the military base from Javakhetia, since the communication
    vehicle will secure the withdrawal of heavy defense technology,"
    a source that preferred to remain anonymous said. According to it,
    the Armenian population is against the withdrawal of the Russian
    military, since a great number of questions have not been settled
    yet, specifically the problem of security of Armenians and creation
    of work places for them. It should be noted that many families lived
    at the expense of the economic infrastructure formed thanks to the
    presence of the Russian military in the region.

    The Javakheti Armenians demand the Russian and Georgian authorities to
    explain why the local inhabitants were not engaged in the negotiation
    process on the withdrawal of the Russian military base. "The Georgian
    leadership have kept everything in secret so far. They do not say who
    will replace the Russian military and this arouses the indignation
    of the Javakheti residents," the source said, reported IA Regnum.
