Armenia, the press service of the Azerbaijani Defence Ministry has
said commenting on the statement of the chief of the Russian General
Staff, Army Gen Yuriy Baluyevskiy, that Russian military bases will
be relocated from Georgia to Russia and that part of their military
hardware will be stationed in Armenia.
