Grigory Karasin: If NATO’s military activity develops in South Caucasus, sooner or later it will lead to problems

Special Representative of the Georgian Prime Minister for Relations with Russia Zurab Abashidze and Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Grigory Karasin met in Prague on 27 February.

As after the meeting Grigory Karasin told the edition Kommersant, he warned Tbilisi that the strengthening of NATO in the Caucasus region would be followed by “unpleasant surprises”.

“Tbilisi has to decide: either to choose atmosphere of regional wellbeing in the South Caucasus, or a Euro-Atlantic agenda. To do both of this at the same time is difficult and may bring very serious outcomes.

It is clear that if NATO’s military activity develops in the South Caucasus, sooner or later it will lead to the problems. We remember how Ukrainian problems began. The issue is the same”, –  Grigory Karasin told Kommersant.
