Second US aid ship arrives in Georgia
0 Comments | AFP, August, 2008
BATUMI, Georgia (AFP) — A second US naval ship carrying aid to Georgia arrived in the southern port city of Batumi on Wednesday, avoiding another port where Russian troops are still operating.
The white-hulled US Coast Guard Cutter Dallas docked in Batumi at 11:45 am (0745 GMT) carrying aid for those displaced in the conflict with Russia, an AFP correspondent reported.
The US embassy in Tbilisi had announced on Tuesday that the ship would dock in the port city of Poti to the north, where Russian troops are still present, but it later retracted that statement.
The Dallas started unloading its cargo to the strains of Georgian folk music and dancing as onlookers shouted "USA! USA!" and waved American and Georgian flags.
