US Thanks Georgia for Support

(Tbilisi. March 19, 2003. Civil Georgia) – Georgian President’s press office reports that the US President George W. Bush in the letter sent to his Georgia counterpart Eduard Shevardnadze on March 16 thanks Georgia for the support in war against terror.

On March 18 State Department Spokesman Richard Boucher said that there are 30 countries who have agreed to be part of the coalition for the immediate disarmament of Iraq. Boucher listed Georgia and Azerbaijan among these countries.

“I’d have to say these are countries that we have gone to and said, “Do you want to be listed?” and they have said, “Yes,” US official said. “Each country is contributing in the ways that it deems the most appropriate,” Boucher added.
