Bush Calls for Withdrawal of Russian Troops from Georgia
布什呼吁俄罗斯从格鲁吉亚撤军
U.S. President George Bush says Russia may be violating the terms of a cease-fire in Georgia less than a day after agreeing to stop the fighting in the former Soviet republic. The president spoke amid reports that a Russian military convoy had pressed deep into Georgian territory.
美国总统布什说，俄罗斯可能在同意结束在格鲁吉亚交战不到一天后就已经违反了停火协议的规定。他对记者们说，俄罗斯的军方车队深入格鲁吉亚领土。
President Bush says he expects Russia to meet its commitment to cease all military activities in Georgia and withdraw all forces that have entered the country in recent days.
布什说，他期待俄罗斯遵守承诺，停止在格鲁吉亚的一切军事活动，并撤回最近几天进入格鲁吉亚的所有俄罗斯军队。
"We are concerned about reports that Russian units have taken up positions on the east side of the city of Gori, which allows them to block the east-west highway, divide the country, and threaten the capital of Tbilisi," the president said. "We are concerned about reports that Russian forces have entered and taken positions in the port city of Poti, that Russian armed vehicles are blocked access to that port, and that Russia is blowing up Georgian vessels."
他说：“有报道说，俄罗斯部队占领了哥里市东部的一些地方，这使它们可以阻断东西走向的高速公路，将格鲁吉亚一分为二，并威胁首都第比利斯。还有报道说，俄罗斯部队进入并控制了海港城市波蒂，俄罗斯的军车封锁了前往波蒂的道路，俄罗斯还在轰炸格鲁吉亚船只。我们对这些报道表示关注。”
Flanked by his secretaries of State and Defense in the White House Rose Garden, President Bush said the United States stands with Georgia's democratically-elected government.
布什和美国国务卿以及国防部长一起在白宫玫瑰园发表讲话。他说，美国支持经民主选举产生的格鲁吉亚政府。
"We insist that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia be respected. Russia has stated that changing the government of Georgia is not its goal," he said. "The United States and the world expect Russia to honor that commitment."
他说：“我们坚持认为必需尊重格鲁吉亚的主权和领土完整。俄罗斯说，更换格鲁吉亚政府并不是俄罗斯的目标。美国和世界其它国家期待俄罗斯遵守这一承诺。”
Mr. Bush spoke earlier with Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili and with French President Nicolas Sarkozy who negotiated the ceasefire. That deal calls for the withdrawal of forces from the breakaway regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia and free access for humanitarian aid workers.
