    Russia withdrawing excessive material, arms from Batumi base.

    ITAR-TASS, Russia
    May 31 2005

    TBILISI, May 31 (Itar-Tass) -- A train with military hardware and
    ammunition of the Russian military base in Batumi will depart for
    Armenia on Tuesday evening, a representative of the Russian Group of
    Forces in the South Caucasus told Itar-Tass.

    He said they are carrying away excessive armaments and materiel from
    Georgia in accordance with a plan drafted several months before the
    completion of the Russian-Georgian negotiations on the military bases'
    pullout.

    "The withdrawal of military hardware and armaments has been coordinated
    with the Georgian authorities," the source said.

    Two trains were sent to the Russian territory in late March - early
    April, and this train will carry the equipment to the Russian military
    base in Gyumri, he said.
