    Another train, the 17th one, carrying arms, ammunition and other
    hardware of the 62nd military base deployed in Akhalkalaki, Georgia,
    has left for Russia.

    "It started today from the Tsalka railroad station. The train is
    heading to Russia and carries twelve communication vehicles, as well
    ammunition and other equipment," a representative of the command of
    the 62nd base told Interfax-AVN on Tuesday, adding that a total of 19
    military echelons with equipment from the 62nd base will go to Russia.

    Earlier, Colonel Vladimir Kuparadze, deputy commander of the Russian
    military force in the South Caucasus, told Interfax-AVN that 179
    pieces of armament and hardware and 217 tonnes of other materiel have
    been shipped from Batumi to the base in Gyumri, Armenia, since the
    beginning of the year. Another 190 pieces of armaments and hardware
    and 738 tonnes of other cargoes have been withdrawn from Akhalkalaki.

    "The plan is to withdraw 358 pieces of armaments and military hardware
    and over 1,671 tonnes of other equipment from Akhalkalaki to Russia
    in 2006," he said.

    Russian military bases should be withdrawn from Georgia during 2008
    under a Russian-Georgian agreement.
