Russian Military Convoy Released after Solving ‘Misunderstanding’

A convoy of four Russian military trucks and four armored vehicles
were released by the Georgian border guard service after the Russian
side submitted necessary documentation authorizing them to transport
arms.

The convoy, which was en route from Akhalkalaki military base to
Armenia, was shortly detained after the Georgian border guards found
five machine guns in vehicles, which were not listed in the papers,
which the Russian side provided Georgian border guards in advance.

Deputy Commander of the Headquarters of Group of Russian Troops in
Trans Caucasus, Col. Vladimir Kuparadze said that the incident was
just misunderstanding which has already been solved.
