NATO insists Georgia will join the alliance
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg is insisting that Georgia will one day join the world's biggest security alliance, despite separatist ambitions in parts of the former Soviet republic, The Associated Press reported.
Stoltenberg said Thursday: "Georgia will become a member of NATO." He said the 29-nation alliance supports the territorial integrity of Georgia, including its sovereignty over the breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
It is reminded that despite Georgia's important contribution to NATO operations, the alliance is unlikely to invite the country in until the conflict with Abkhazia and South Ossetia has been resolved.
