Zurabishvili: US Base in Georgia Bad Idea

The first female president of Georgia, Salome Zurabishvii, has said she believes it is not a good idea to build an American military base in Georgia, Georgia Today reports.

While responding to the questions of the Voice of America (VoA) Georgian Service, the President noted such a step could be perceived as a provocation.

“There is no need to take steps that can be perceived as a provocation and I do not think the United States is ready to have a military base here, which would draw the attention of not only Russia but also of terrorist movements that are very active in our region,” she said.
