The minister, David Tevzadze, said he hoped that "other NATO member states would take part (along with the United States and Turkey) in training and equipping Georgia's armed forces." He was speaking at a ceremony inaugurating the start of the curricular year at Georgia's Military Academy, where Turkish officers are providing some of the instruction. A top member of the Turkish general staff, General Koksal Karabay, told the gathering that a five-year military cooperation accord between Georgia and Turkey, which are neighbours, provided for Turkish methods of officer training in the academy. Ankara and Tbilisi have nurtured close relations since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Turkey, a NATO member, decided in November to finance the renovation of the Georgian military base of Vaziani, evacuated by the Russian army. US military instructors are also training Georgian forces in anti-terrorism. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
