PanARMENIAN.Net - When commenting on the words of chief of the General Staff of the Russian armed forces

Yuri Baluyevsky, who said that the Russian troops will be withdrawn from Georgia to Russia while a part of the armament will be taken to Armenia, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry's Press Service stated that the Azeri party condemns any fact of appearance of armament on the Armenian territory, RosBusinessConsulting reported. "We condemn such measures. They give way to concern, as Armenia is still in war against Azerbaijan", the ministry officials say. According to Baluyevsky, the withdrawal of the military bases from Georgia will take place. "However it is impossible to form the essential infrastructure during four years, that is why a part of the military equipment will be brought to Armenia. This way we will have the possibility to adjust the terms up to four years", he said. Meanwhile on May 18 Abkhazian President Sergey Bagapsh stated of his consent to quartering the Russian military bases on the territory of the unrecognized republic. To note, the Georgia's sanctions against the Russian troops came into power May 16. Since that day the new Russian servicemen have been refused in visas and the Russian military have been banned to conduct exercises.
