BAKU WORRIED RUSSIAN MILITARY EQUIPMENT AND AMMUNITION REMOVAL FROM GEORGIA TO ARMENIA
The removal of the military equipment and ammunition from the Russian bases located in the Georgian territory to Armenia will exert negative influence on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement. As reported by "Interfax" agency, Azeri foreign minister Vilayat Guliyev stated. "We have time and again stated our position on this occasion, Russia already has its military bases in Armenia. So, being the co-chairman of the OSCE Minsk group for Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement Russia should regard this process with greater attention", - Guliyev said. To remind, the removal of the ammunition from the 130-th military depot located in the town of Gagarejo in the eastern part of Georgia began at the end of last week. The ammunition and armament will be delivered to the 102-th Russian base dislocated in the Armenian city of Gyumri by June 25.
