Bush will receive peacemaker laurels. Not Putin

“There is an idea for the Abkhaz and South Ossetian sides to be represented at the meeting between Saakashvili and Bush,” said Givi Targamadze, head of the Georgian parliament’s defense and security committee. Two weeks ago, Vladimir Putin already tried to organize a meeting between Saakashvili and the presidents of Abkhazia and South Ossetia in Sochi. However, the Georgian president ignored the invitation. Apparently, he decided to give the laurels of peacemaker to Bush. It is curious whether the “pro-Russian” leaders of the self-proclaimed republics will agree with this.
