    ESTONIA TO BRING AWAY ITS CITIZENS FROM GEORGIA VIA ARMENIA

    TALLINN Aug 11


    The Estonian Foreign Ministry in cooperation with Estonian Air will
    send a chartered aircraft to bring back Estonians from Yerevan,
    Armenia.

    The aircraft will leave Tallinn Monday evening and will arrive in
    Yerevan early on Tuesday. The aircraft will be back in Estonia Tuesday
    morning, a spokesman for the Foreign Ministry told BNS.

    Estonia will also send humanitarian assistance to Georgia on board the
    plane -- first aid kits, blankets, thermolinen and light beds. The
    handing over of the consignment to Georgia will be organized by a
    member of the rescue team going to Georgia with the chartered
    aircraft.

    Foreign Minister Urmas Paet said that if possible, the aircraft would
    take on board also other European Union citizens.

    At least 46 Estonian citizens went by bus from Georgia to Yerevan on
    Sunday.

    In all the Foreign Ministry and the Estonian embassy in Tbilisi were
    in contact in Georgia with 133 persons who had received advice and
    were given assistance to leave the country. There were two Finns and a
    Lithuanian among them and they too would be brought back from Georgia.
