/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Armenian soldiers who left the military unit in
Akhaltsikh early May were conveyed to the military unit quartered in Gori,
A-info agency reported. 14 Armenian soldiers fled from the 31-th Georgian
battalion on May 14. It turned out that on account of not knowing the
Georgian language the Akhalkalaki soldiers with the silent consent of the
commanders were beaten by Georgian brothers in arms every day. Thanks to the
interference of the Georgian National Defender, the Akhalkalaki authorities
and the parents of the soldiers the Georgian Defense Ministry dismissed
commander of the 3-rd brigade Nodar Inanidze and commander of the 31-th
battalion Zaza Dzkheidze, who insisted on being unaware of the beatings. The
Armenian soldiers were conveyed to the military unit of Gori.
