The residents of Akhalkalak blocked the way of the military
communication car that belongs to the Russian military base #62. The
Russian mass media informed that they hinder the car to move from
a canyon and demand its return to the territory of the military
base. According to one of the activists of the protest, the car was
to go to Tsalka settlement. "The withdrawal of the communication car
means the beginning of military equipment's withdrawal from Javakhk,"
Regnum agency cited the words of the unknown source in the city. The
Armenian residents of the city are against the withdrawal of the
Russian military base from Akhalkalaki, as many issues are not solved
yet, particularly, the issue of the security of the Armenian residents
of Samtskhe-Javakhk region.
Besides, many families earned their living thanks to the economic
infrastructure of the Russian military base in the region. The
Armenians of Javakhk region demand from the Russian and the Georgian
authorities to explain why the local residents were not involved in
the negotiations over the withdrawal of the Russian military base.
