Tbilisi Denies Rumors of U.S. Using Georgia Bases to Attack Iran
http://www.mosnews.com/news/2006/02/26/saaknato.shtml

Georgia's president has refuted recent reports that Georgia might allow the
U.S. to use its territories to launch an attack on Iran, and expressed his
resentment at the rumors.

"The issue is simply out of the question," Mikhail Saakashvili told the Ekho
Moskvy radio station in an interview Sunday.

Georgia's admission to NATO does not mean that the alliance will be able to
place its military bases on territory of the country, Saakashvili added.

"Talks of this are mere speculation," he said.

Reports in the media earlier this month said U.S. officials were probing
whether Georgia, situated just northwest of Iran, will allow Washington to
use its military bases and airfields in the event of a military conflict
with Tehran.
