    First batch of Russian military equipment leaves Georgia

    Imedi TV, Tbilisi
    31 May 05

    [Presenter] The successful negotiation [on the pull-out of Russian
    military bases] seems to have produced a practical result - Russian
    military hardware is leaving Georgia.

    A short time ago the first train loaded with military vehicles left
    the Urekhi firing range near Batumi [in Ajaria]. The transit procedure
    was agreed with the Georgian authorities. The equipment being withdrawn
    from Ajaria will be redeployed to Armenia and Russia.

    The train is carrying chemical reconnaissance vehicles of several
    types, decontamination kits, special thermal equipment and long-range
    missiles [as heard]. The train is accompanied by several Russian
    servicemen. It is not yet known when the next batch of military
    equipment is scheduled to be withdrawn. Now you can see exclusive
    footage provided by our correspondent in Batumi, Merab Tsulukidze.
