/PanARMENIAN.Net/ `The start of the transportation of the Russian
military equipment from Georgia to Armenia can cause serious problems
for Azerbaijan. The story of the unfinished Karabakh war proves that
Armenia always used Russian military bases for its aggressive
purposes’, the statement spread by the Karabakh Liberation
Organization yesterday says. The authors of the statement say that by
sending its armament to Armenia `Russia creates conditions for
Armenia’s continuing aggression and that this step conflicts with the
activities of Russia as the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair.’ `The KLO
considers that Russia should immediately stop the militarization of
Armenia or quit activities in the OSCE MG. International
organizations like the UN should take preventive measures against
Russia while the Azerbaijani authorities should re-consider relations
with this country. Otherwise we will take over the initiative and
press for Russia’s removal from the post of Co-Chair’, the statement
says. A source in the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry reported that
presently, the 112-nd military base in Gyumri is not capable of
receiving the military equipment withdrawn from Georgia. `The issue
was also discussed at the meeting of Azeri FM Elmar Mammadyarov and
head of the Chief of Russia’s Armed Forces General Staff Yyuri
Baluevsky’, Azeri 525-th newspaper reports
