Georgia will send 500 soldiers to Iraq by the summer 2004, U.S. ambassador to Tbilisi Richard Miles said on December 13.
Troops will join detachment of 70 mine-clearing experts and doctors who were sent to Iraq in August and are stationed in the town of Tikrit.
During a graduate ceremony for a Georgian battalion trained by American military instructors under the U.S.-funded USD 64-million Train-and-Equip program Miles thanked Georgia for the contribution in Iraq.
