    RBC, 31.05.2006, Baku 16:36:47.The withdrawal of a small portion
    of military equipment and assets from the Georgian military base in
    Akhalkalaki to the Russian base in Gyumri, Armenia, cannot destabilize
    the political-military situation in the region, Vice Minister and
    Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov told a press conference in Baku,
    noting that it was not so much equipment, but rather military assets
    that were being removed from Georgia. At the same time, he stressed
    that this did not go against Russia's obligations under the Treaty on
    Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE), Azeri information agency
    Trend reported.

    Most of the military hardware will be withdrawn from the Russian
    military base in Akhalkalaki through Azerbaijan to Russia, according
    to the minister. As for the Russian peacekeeping presence in Georgia,
    Moscow has no plans to cancel their 6-month rotation, and will continue
    to follow all the procedures in this regard as stipulated in respective
    agreements, Ivanov stated.
