Russian militaries removed from Georgian city of Poti

Russian militaries have been withdrawn from the city of Poti, Georgia, in fulfilment of the Russia-France agreement.

The Reuters reports that soldiers in ATCs (armoured troop carriers) leave their posts in the outskirts of Poti.

The website named "Our Abkhazia" writes that the Russian troops started to remove their personnel and armoured machinery from the Western Georgia back on September 12; they made their way to Abkhazia. According to the website, most of the Russian militaries have already left Poti, Khobbi and Senaki; however, they still remain at their block-posts in Akhalgori.

On September 11, Mayor of Poti Vano Saginadze confirmed that Russian forces were indeed undertaking certain actions evidencing that they removed their block-posts in this city. "They dismantle wire entanglements and tents. These actions can be watched at both block-posts, which indicates that they are removing the block-posts," said Mr Saginadze in his interview to the "Rustavi-2" TV Company.

The lady-correspondent of the Tbilisi bureau of Radio Liberty in Poti has reported that withdrawal is in preparation. "Despite the pouring rain, Russian soldiers kept dismantling the block-posts," she said on September 11.
