`I think that both Ukraine and Georgia, and later also Azerbaijan will
only benefit from NATO membership,’ Ukrainian Ambassador to Azerbaijan
Stepan Volkovetski told Day.Az. He said he does not share the opinion
of the Ukrainian people, who oppose the accession to NATO. `Simply,
some political forces in Ukraine dispute this question, and those
forces which are struggling for joining the alliance consider that the
population is not properly presented all the advantages of NATO
membership, which allows to use this factor for political objectives,’
the Ambassador said.

He noted that Ukraine has no way other than integration into European
and Euro-Atlantic structures. `And I think that despite some
obstacles, Ukraine will join the alliance in the near future,’ said
the diplomat.
