    People's Daily Online, China
    May 18 2006

    Russia on Thursday started moving military equipment from a base in
    Georgia to its Gyumri base in Armenia, said military officials.

    Ten trucks from the Akhalkalaki base, along with an armored personnel
    carrier and a Georgian military police escort, had reached the Armenian
    border, said Col. Vladimir Kuparadze, deputy commander of the Russian
    troops in the southern Caucasus.

    Russia started the withdrawal earlier this week under an agreement
    with the Georgian side last year.

    According to the agreement, all heavy weapons and vehicles at the
    Georgian base of Akhalkalaki will be pull out by Oct. 15, while
    personnel and base property must leave by the end of 2007.

    Meanwhile, withdrawal process at the other Russian base in Georgia's
    Black Sea port of Batumi is also to be finished by the end of 2008.
