MOSCOW, Aug 9 (Reuters) - A pullout of Georgian troops from the conflict zone is the only solution to the South Ossetian crisis, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev told U.S. President George W. Bush in a telephone conversation on Saturday.

"The Russian president has specifically stressed that the only way out from the tragic crisis provoked by the Georgian leadership is a withdrawal by Tbilisi of its armed formations from the conflict zone," a Kremlin press release said. (Writing by Oleg Shchedrov)
