Another train with weapons and materiel of the Russian base being
withdrawn from Georgia is ready for dispatch to Russia, Colonel
Vladimir Kuparadze, deputy commander of the Russian forces in
Transcaucasia, told Interfax-Military News Agency by phone from
Tbilisi on Monday.
“The train with 10 T-72 tanks and other military hardware of the
Russian 62nd base deployed in Akhalkalaki will depart from the
railway station of Tsalka early on Tuesday and will head for Russia
via Azerbaijan,” he said.
This will be the sixth train: three dispatched earlier carried the
equipment of the 62nd base, and two more that departed from Batumi,
where the 12th base is deployed, were sent to Armenia to replenish
the Russian 102nd base there.
Kuparadze said that a column of 20 wheeled vehicles would be sent to
Gyumri, where the 102nd base is headquartered, on Thursday.
“Another 40 wheeled vehicles will be sent to Gyumri from Batumi by
train also on Thursday,” he noted.
