    RUSSIAN OFFICERS TRAPPED IN ARMENIAN GYUMRI

    GYUMRI, FEBRUARY 1, ARMENPRESS: Some 500 Russian officers and
    soldiers temporarily stationed at a Russian military base in Armenia's
    Gyumri have been refused Georgian visas for one month already which
    they need to cross Georgia's border to be deployed at a Russian
    military base in southern Georgian Akhalkalaki.

    According to A-Info news agency, some 800 officers of the
    Akhalkalaki base, mostly of Armenian origin, were redeployed in Russia
    after appointment of a new commander of Russian forces in South
    Caucasus, who is seated in Tbilisi. Some 500 Russian officers and
    sergeants were dispatched to replace them. The agency cited its
    sources as saying that previously Russians were allowed to cross
    Georgia's border after paying hefty bribes to Georgian bodyguards.
    Now, according to the same sources, this is practically impossible.
