NATO DECIDES TO REVIEW RELATIONS WITH RUSSIA
|
NATO DECIDES TO REVIEW RELATIONS WITH RUSSIA  NATO countries will review relations with Russia because of its action against Georgia, said in the statement issued by the North Atlantic Council’s meeting at the level of Foreign Ministers in Brussels on Tuesday, APA reports.
“We call on Russia to take immediate action to withdraw its troops from the areas it is supposed to leave under the six-principle agreement signed by President Saakashvili and President Medvedev1. The Alliance is considering seriously the implications of Russia’s actions for the NATO-Russia relationship”, said in the statement. “We have also agreed today to support Georgia, upon its request, in a number of areas. In addition, we have agreed to task the North Atlantic Council in Permanent Session to develop with Georgia rapidly the modalities for a NATO-Georgia Commission. This Commission will supervise the process set in hand at Bucharest, including the measures of support agreed at today’s meeting. These measures are intended to assist Georgia, a valued and long-standing Partner of NATO, to assess the damage caused by the military action and to help restore critical services necessary for normal public life and economic activity”.
“Georgia may become the NATO member and I am sure it will happen once”, said NATOI Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer at the press conference after the meeting.
NATO member countries have not supported US proposal to stop security cooperation with Russia, British Sky News reported. British foreign minister David Miliband said Russia was one of the important players at the international arena and therefore it was necessary to continue relations with Russia within the existed format.Brussels–APA |
