Russia May Breaks NATO Ties
Russia may sever ties with NATO, if Georgia receives a membership action plan, Russian permanent representative at that organization Dmitry Rogozin stated. At the Bucharest NATO summit in April, alliance members did not accept Georgia and Ukraine’s applications for those plans, postponing any decisions until December.
“It’s one thing to fuss over the U.S.’s puppet [Georgian President Mikheil Saakahsvili] and another thing altogether to give refuge to an aggressor country,” Rogozin declared. “There can be no question of cooperation in that case. No question.”
“From the moral-political point of view, the presentation of Georgia with a membership action plan would look as though NATO was on the side of the aggressor,” Rogozin noted.
