Georgia and 29 members of the alliance will make the decision about Georgia’s NATO membership. Nobody else will interfere into the process – Jens Stoltenberg, Secretary General of North-Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) stated in an interview with Deutsche Welle.
The journalist inquired about Stoltenberg’s viewpoint regarding chances of Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova to become NATO members. “We support aspirations of Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova, and support these countries in carrying out of reforms. Russia has no right to decide what its neighbours should do,” NATO Chief stated.
In the interview, Stoltenberg also claimed that NATO did not want to become engaged in competition of weaponry accumulation together with Russia though the alliance was forced to respond to threats and increase its representation in Baltic States, Poland and Black Sea region.
