TBILISI PROTESTS UNAUTHORIZED RUSSIAN TROOP MOVE.

The chairman of the Georgian parliament’s Defense and Security Committee, Revaz Adamia, yesterday protested against the unauthorized transfer of a Russian border guard unit to Georgia’s border sector opposite Chechnya, where it is now building a barracks. Adamia warned that this contravention of the agreement on the status of Russian border troops in Georgia jeopardizes the agreement’s ratification by Tbilisi. (Interfax, March 27).
