Spokesman calls detention of Russian convoy on Georgian-Armenian
border misunderstanding
TBILISI, July 28 (RIA Novosti, Marina Kvaratskhelia) - The detention
of Russian military hardware at the Georgian-Armenian border was pure
misunderstanding, said Vladimir Kuparadze, the official spokesman for
Russian forces in Transcaucasia.
"The senior officer forgot the necessary papers," he said. "The
convoy will continue moving as soon as these papers are delivered."
Georgian border guards stopped a convoy of Russian military hardware
on the Armenian border Thursday.
The state borders department of the Georgian Interior Ministry said
the convoy, comprising four trucks and four armored vehicles, was
heading from Akhalkalaki (Georgia) to Armenia.
On inspection, Georgian border guards found five PKT machine guns and
five signaling pistols and detained the convoy, which lacked the
required documents.
