Recruits for Akhalkalaki Base Stuck in Gyumri

RECRUITMENT FOR RUSSIAN MILITARY BASE IN AKHALKALAKI ALREADY PROLONGED
FOR OVER MONTH

AKHALKALAKI, February 4 (Noyan Tapan). The Russian military base in
Akhalkalaki has been waiting for the recruitment for over a month
now. According to the “A-Info” Agency, after the appointment of the
new Commander of the Transcaucasian military district of Russian
Federation about 800 military servicemen of the Armenian nationality
of the junior and medium officers of the Akhalkalaki military base
passed on service in other military units of Russian Federation, and
500 officers were detached to Akhalkalaki for their replacement. But
it is already a month that they are in Gyumri and wait for entry
permit to Georgia. If earlier the Russian military servicemen could
give bribes to the Georgian frontier guards and cross the Georgian
frontier and arrive at the place of dislocation, today it is
impossible and it isn’t excluded that the arrival of the Russian
military servicemen to Akhalkalaki will be artificially prolonged for
a longer time.
