Bush to Discuss Russian Military Bases in Georgia with Putin

U.S. President George W. Bush said in an interview with European journalists on the eve of his European trip that Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili asked him to raise the issue of the withdrawal of Russian military bases from Georgia with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Reuters and Associated Press reported on May 6. 

“As to the bases, as I understand it, the government of Russia has made a statement that they’ll be out of the bases. And this is obviously an issue that needs to be resolved between Georgia and Russia,” Bush was quoted by Associated Press.
