Georgia Hinders Russian Military Presence in Armenia

Неужели Баку так запросто позволяет РФ кормить и вооружать Армению через территорию Азербайджана? Taken from the link recently provided by bocek:

Raising a serious obstacle to Russia's military presence in Armenia, Georgia appears to have closed its airspace to transport planes making vital shipments to Russian troops stationed in the neighboring South Caucasus state. According to Russian and Armenian officials, the move is the result of the recent Russian-Georgian war that has redrawn the geopolitical picture in the region. They say the Russian military is now forced to re-route supplies to its base in Armenia via Iran and even Azerbaijan, which has long resented Moscow's close defense links with its archenemy. Policymakers and defense experts in Yerevan, however, downplay the significance of the apparent ban on the transit of Russian military personnel and cargos through Georgian territory. They insist that it does not call into question the continued deployment of some 5,000 Russian troops at the western Armenian town of Gyumri, a key element of Armenia's national security doctrine. "Georgia no longer provides us with air corridors," Colonel Ashot Karapetian, deputy commander of the Russian military base in Armenia, told EurasiaNet. "Our supplies are now being carried out via Azerbaijan and Iran."
