    Withdrawal of the Russian military equipment from Georgia is still
    being carried out. As it was declared to "Vremya Novostei" by Second
    in Command of the Group of the Russian troops in Transcaucasia,
    Vladimir Kuparadze, the first in this year echelon with property of
    the 12th Batumi base will come out from Georgia on the 25th of May.

    On the whole, this year along this route Batumi-Gymri in Armenia,
    where the 102nd Russian base is deployed, will follow seven echelons.

    (...)

    This year Georgia will be given five units of the Group of the Russian
    troops in Transcaucasia, including two units in Adzharia (these are
    the former sanatorium of the Air Defense forces in settlement of
    Makhindzhauri and a town of the artillery troops in Batumi). Before
    the Russian bases are finally closed, and this will be in 2008, the
    Russian military men in Adzharia can use according to the agreement,
    together with the Ministry of Defense of Georgia, training area
    Gonio. But the Russian military men said that the Georgian side under
    different pretexts doesn't allow them to use this training area.
