EXPERTS TO COORDINATE TERMS OF RUSSIAN BASES' WITHDRAWAL FROM GEORGIA
MOSCOW, May 19 (RIA Novosti) - Russian and Georgian experts are
to coordinate the terms and order of the Russian military bases'
withdrawal from Georgia, as well as obligations of the sides and
security issues, in the near future, chief of the Russian General
Staff Yury Baluyevsky told journalists in Moscow. Russia makes the
only principal condition - Russian servicemen should be withdrawn to
some territory with developed infrastructure, Baluyevsky stressed.
"The military bases will not be withdrawn from Georgia to Russia. It
is not ruled out that some property and military hardware will be
deployed in Armenia," he said. In his opinion, this scenario will
reduce the withdrawal terms from 10-11 to 4 years.
Yury Baluyevsky also pointed out to attempts of economic blockade of
the Russian bases in Georgia (water and power cuts).
