Anders Fogh Rasmussen: Georgia should Join NATO without Abkhazia and South Ossetia

Former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, speaking at an international conference in Tbilisi, offered the Georgian authorities to consider joining the North Atlantic Alliance, but without Abkhazia and South Ossetia. You should start discussions on whether it will be acceptable for you to become a NATO member without Abkhazia and South Ossetia. This decision is up to Georgia and then to inform NATO about of the decision, quotes polit.info Rasmussen as saying. According to him, in order to become a NATO member, Georgia needs to reform democracy, root out corruption, guarantee the protection of minorities and ensure freedom of speech. News.ru
