KLO THREATENS RUSSIA WITH SEVERING RELATIONS

PanARMENIAN.Net - "The start of the transportation of the Russian military equipment from Georgia to Armenia can cause serious problems for Azerbaijan. The story of the unfinished Karabakh war proves that Armenia always used Russian military bases for its aggressive purposes", the statement spread by the Karabakh Liberation Organization yesterday says. The authors of the statement say that by sending its armament to Armenia "Russia creates conditions for Armenia's continuing aggression and that this step conflicts with the activities of Russia as the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair." "The KLO considers that Russia should immediately stop the militarization of Armenia or quit activities in the OSCE MG. International organizations like the UN should take preventive measures against Russia while the Azerbaijani authorities should re-consider relations with this country. Otherwise we will take over the initiative and press for Russia's removal from the post of Co-Chair", the statement says. A source in the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry reported that presently, the 112-nd military base in Gyumri is not capable of receiving the military equipment withdrawn from Georgia. "The issue was also discussed at the meeting of Azeri FM Elmar Mammadyarov and head of the Chief of Russia's Armed Forces General Staff Yyuri Baluevsky", Azeri 525-th newspaper reports
