"Russia's small amount of military equipment, mainly military property withdrawn from the military base in Georgia is taken to Russian military base in Gumru, Armenia.

This cannot violate military and political stability in the region. Russia does not show incompliance with the commitments undertaken under the contract on restriction of military forces in Europe," Russia's Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov told a news conference following the meeting of the CIS Board of Defense Ministers in Baku today, APA informs.

"Main part of the military equipment, including heavy equipment is taken to Russia through Azerbaijan," said Mr.Ivanov reporting that the other military base in Batumi, Georgia, will be removed later and the property of the base will be carried to Russia via the seaways.
