[Presenter] Moscow has presented Georgia with a timetable for the
withdrawal of 358 pieces of hardware from Georgian territory between
12 May and 18 August 2006. One hundred and thirteen tanks will be
removed by sea, while 369 pieces of heavy armour will be relocated
to the Gyumri base in Armenia [figures as heard]. Georgia has even
built a special platform in Tsalka.
Russia has also presented Georgia with a list of items which will be
disposed of on Georgian territory.
[Mamuka Kudava, deputy defence minister] Already by the end of March
they will present us with more detailed information on the hardware
to be removed by the end of 2006 and a precise timetable, which is
very important.
We also hope that the handover to the Ministry of Defence of facilities
not belonging to Russian bases will continue.
