    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ None of Armenian officials confirms or refutes
    reports the first echelon with Russian arms arrived in Armenia from
    Batumi yesterday. The only person, who commented on it was Armenian
    FM V. Oskanian, who did "not rule out the opportunity of transfer
    of part of Russian military bases from Georgia to Armenia in the
    future." "There are no discussions or talks over the issue at the
    moment. But if such a decision is taken, it will be a prerogative
    of Russia and Armenia," Oskanian said last Wednesday, RFE/RL
    reported. It should be noted that yesterday Russian media referring
    to representatives of the military contingent in Transcaucasia spread
    reports that a rail echelon with military equipment and arms is sent to
    Armenia from Batumi. Meanwhile, today Azeri Ambassador to Georgia Ramiz
    Hasanov said the withdrawal of the Russian equipment and ammunition
    from the Russian base in Batumi to Armenia has not started yet.
