Convoy detention a misunderstanding

The detention of Russian military hardware at the Georgian-Armenian
border was pure misunderstanding, said Vladimir Kuparadze, the
official spokesman for Russian forces in Transcaucasia.
“The senior officer forgot the necessary papers,” he said. “The
convoy will continue moving as soon as these papers are delivered.”
Georgian border guards stopped a convoy of Russian military hardware
on the Armenian border Thursday.
The state borders department of the Georgian Interior Ministry said
the convoy, comprising four trucks and four armored vehicles, was
heading from Akhalkalaki (Georgia) to Armenia.
On inspection, Georgian border guards found five PKT machine guns and
five signaling pistols and detained the convoy, which lacked the
required documents.
