Russia Begins Early Troops Withdrawal From Georgia

A convoy of Russian military hardware and other equipment left the Georgian capital Thursday en route to a base in Armenia, the Associated Press news agency reports.

The convoy — the first from the Russian forces’ central military garrison in Tbilisi — was pulled ahead of schedule, said a deputy commander overseeing Russian forces in the country, who asked that his name not be used since he was not authorized to speak to the media.

Nearly 390 personnel, more than 100 pieces of military vehicles and some 350 tons of weapons and other equipment will be withdrawn by year’s end, the official said.

After months of contentious negotiations, Georgia and Russia reached agreement last year on pulling Russian forces out of two bases, which both are scheduled to be fully closed by October 2008. Much of the equipment was to be shipped to the Russian base at Gyumri, Armenia. The closure affected some 3,000-4,000 Russian troops at the bases.

Relations between the two countries have plummeted in recent months as Georgia accuses Russia of supporting separatists, and Russia fears Georgia is moving further out of its shadow toward the West.

Interfax said the equipment was pulled out of the Tbilisi garrison ahead of schedule due to the tense state of relations.

I hate to break it to our government, but we only have so much money and we need to spend it carefully, and can't spend our whole budget trying to solve everyone else's problems.

Heh. :) Does Ordshinokovidze (hope I'm spelling it correctly, propabably not) still have living relatives? Anyway the only reason Saakashvili is still in power is because of the massive support he receives from western capitalists who want to steal Georgia's oil and underage girls. There's a lamppost with his name on it.

Spelling wise I believe it's transliterated to Ordzhonikidze (გრიგოლ ორჯონიკიძე) but you were close enough :). I'm not sure if he has any relatives still surviving or not, at least none of prominence but he very well may likely remain in the Imereti region of Western Georgia, as he was born in Kharagauli (notice the -dze ending of his surname, indicating Western Georgia).

You're absolutely right; Saakashvili is another means of Western imperialist forces subverting the interests of the local peoples and destabilizing the region by turning Georgia against Russia and disuniting the East against itself. George Soros was responsible for the pathetic "Rose Revolution," and nothing good has come out of it yet--the ONLY thing to come out of it has been subservience to Yankee interests. America could not give a shit what happens to Georgia; they're only interested in the oil and checking Russian interests in the region.
