However, "Ryazan, Russia, 23 June: A senior Russian general said on Saturday Russia would be unable to meet a commitment to remove its military base from Georgia's breakaway Abkhazia region by 1 July because the local population was stopping the base's contingent leaving. Russia "is determined to completely comply with the Istanbul agreements," under which the base of Russia's 10th Airborne Regiment in Gudauta, with a personnel of 1,045 and 400 vehicles, is to be withdrawn by 1 July, Col-Gen Georgiy Shpak, commander of Russia's Airborne Troops, has told reporters. Abkhazia's population, fearing that fighting will flare after the Russian base is removed, has been blockading the base, preventing the Russians from leaving" (Interfax, 23 Jun 01).]
