/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Georgia’s active dialogue with the NATO does not mean
Georgia will become an Alliance member without fail, NATO Military
Committee Chair, General Ray Henault stated at a news conference
in Moscow. In his words, "Intense dialogue does not guarantee NATO
membership, but allows us holding talks with any state. The political
decision on admission of a state to the NATO is made on the basis of
a number of requirements, which should be met," Henault said.
He also added that among major requirements for a country, claiming
NATO membership, is sustaining good neighborly relations with adjacent
countries and a settled domestic political situation.
"Georgia has to solve unsettled matters with unrecognized republics
on its own, however in interaction with Russia. These matters refer to
domestic policy, and the state should solve these on its own. The NATO
is considering that matter as part of bilateral relations of Georgia
with surrounding states," the NATO Military Committee Chair said.
