TBILISI, August 9 (Itar-Tass) -- A military column from the Russian military base in Akhalkalaki is withdrawing from Georgia to Russia. The withdrawal of the column was initially scheduled for August 6 and then on August 8, but it happened to be impossible, as the Terek river had washed out the road between the Georgian checkpoint Daryali and the Russian checkpoint Verkhniy Lars. Georgian and Russian highway repairmen have completed necessary restoration works by Tuesday so that heavy-duty vehicles could go on the road.
The column of five command post vehicles left Mtskheta and went on the Military Georgian highway to the Russian border and then to Prokhladnoye in Kabardino-Balkaria.
Several Russian and Georgian vehicles that will not pass the border and will come back are escorting the Russian military column. http://itar-tass.com/eng/level2.html?NewsID=2301383&PageNum=0
