TBLISI, July 30 (RIA Novosti) – The first convoy of vehicles carrying Russian military equipment has left a base in Batumi (Adzharia), and is moving towards the Russian-Georgian border. Nine trucks and two accompanying cars left the base early Saturday morning.
The convoy should arrive at Mtskhet (80 km from Tblisi) by evening. On Saturday night, the convoy will pass through the Tskhinvaly Region and the Rok tunnel, which links North (Russian) and South Ossetia, crossing the Georgian-Russian border.
Security for the Russian military convoy is being provided by the Georgian Defense Ministry and Georgian Internal Affairs Ministry patrol police.
The Russian military equipment is being taken out of the country as part of an agreement signed on May 30 of this year between the heads of the Russian and Georgian foreign ministries on removing two Russian bases (the second one is in Akhalkalaki near the Armenian border) from Georgia by 2008.
