Moscow, 15 March: Claims by Georgian officials that Russian servicemen
were involved in protest rallies in Akhalkalaki (Samtskhe-Javakheti
Province) are unfounded, Interfax-AVN was told by phone today by
deputy commander of Russia's 62nd Base Col Igor Luzhnikov.
"Servicemen from the 62nd Base in Akhalkalaki do not take part in
rallies and there are no grounds whatsoever for the accusations
levelled at them by Georgian officials," Luzhnikov said.
There have been mass protest actions in Alkhalkalaki every day since 11
