No references found | While three of Russia's four major bases in Georgia have been closed, or are nearly closed two under a 2005 agreement dealing with Akhalkalaki and Batumi a small number of Russian personnel and supplies remain at the Gudauta base, in the separatist Abkhazia region of Georgia. Russia is shutting down two Georgian bases, in Batumi and Akhalkalaki by 2008, and is ahead of schedule in this endeavor. Russia--which has troops stationed in Batumi, the Adjar capital, and Akhalkalaki in the ethnic Armenian Javakhetia, plus 'peacekeeping' units already in Abkhazia--could likewise act as a guarantor of Georgia's federalism. |
