Russian troops deployed in Abkhazia, Armenia and South Ossetia will not
take part in the Kavkaz-2012 strategic command-post exercise, Russian
General Staff Deputy Head Col. Gen. Alexander Postnikov has announced.
"Russian troops based in Armenia, South Ossetia and Abkhazia will
not be involved in the drill. Nor will foreign participants. The
exercise will take place in Russian territory," Postnikov said at a
news conference at Interfax on Tuesday.
The Russian military bases located in Abkhazia, Armenia and South
Ossetia are subordinated to Russia's Southern Military District. The
4,500-strong 102nd military base is deployed in Gyumri in Armenia,
the 7th military base has been located in Gudauta, Abkhazia, since
2009, and the 4th base in Dzhava and Tskhinvali in South Ossetia
since February 2009.
The Georgian foreign minister earlier said that Georgia is concerned
about the upcoming Kavkaz-2012 war games and by the Russian offensive
weapons located in Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Armenia.
