Russian MFA: Text of Agreement on Bases Close to Finalization

Russian Foreign Ministry?s spokesman Alexander Yakovenko said in an information note note issued on June 14 that most of the text of an agreement over the withdrawal of Russian military bases from Georgia has already been agreed and the next round of talks to negotiate over the remaining, minor problems will be held in Moscow on June 16-17.

?We consider the results of these [talks held in Tbilisi on June 8-10] as quite satisfactory? We expect that the issue over the hand over of the Armor/Tank Repair Factory [in Tbilisi] will be solved in the coming days,? Alexander Yakovenko said.

This agreement over the withdrawal of Russian military bases from Georgia will formalize a joint declaration between the Russian and Georgian Foreign Ministers signed in Moscow on May 30 and which outlines the details of the bases? pull out process.
