RUSSIA TO REMOVE SOME 2,500 UNITS OF MILITARY HARDWARE FROM SOUTH
CAUCASUS IN 2005-2008

YEREVAN, JUNE 7. ARMINFO. Russia will remove some 2,500 units of
military hardware (tanks, armoured troop carriers, guns) from the
South Caucasus in 2005-2008, Russian DM Sergey Ivanov said during the
Monday opening of the St.Petersburg World Congress of Military
Medicine.

The equipment together with 80,000 tons of ammunition and other
materiel will be carried by sea from Batumi (Georgia). Some 2,500
Russian soldiers, officers and their relatives will leave the region
during the period.

Ivanov noted that the redeployment of Russian military equipment to
Armenia complies with the CAFE Treaty especially as it will be taken
to a Russian base rather than given to Armenia.
