    This year's seventh train with materiel of Russian military bases
    being withdrawn from Georgia will leave the city of Batumi on Thursday,
    Colonel Vladimir Kuparadze, deputy commander of the Russian military
    force in Transcaucasia, told Interfax- Military News Agency.

    "The train will depart from Batumi, where the 12th Russian military
    base is stationed, to Armenia early on Thursday," Kuparadze said.

    "The train will deliver 42 wheeled vehicles and other materiel to the
    Armenian town of Gyumri, where it will be added to the 102nd Russian
    military base's inventory," he noted.

    In addition, a convoy of wheeled vehicles of the 62nd military base
    will leave for Gyumri from the Georgian town of Akhalkalaki early on
    Thursday. "These are 15 KamAz automobiles carrying materiel and six
    cannons," Kuparadze said.

    He recalled that six trains with armaments, hardware and other materiel
    of the Russian bases have left Georgia. Four of them carrying materiel
    of the 62nd base headed for Russia, while the two others left Batumi
    for Armenia.

    The Russian military bases are to be withdrawn from Georgia in 2008.
