President Bush was in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia on the last stop of his 5-day trip to Europe. He gave a speech in Freedom Square, once called Lenin Square, in Tbilisi. Crowds had gathered in the square following the fall of the Soviet Union and after peaceful protests against government corruption in 2003, called the “Rose Revolution.”

Each segment of President Bush’s speech was followed by a translation in Georgian. Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili spoke in Georgian, followed by the national anthems of the two countries. close
