Frankfurter Allgemeine: Georgia unlikely to receive NATO invitation in near future

PanARMENIAN.Net - "Pro-American President of Georgia, Mikhael Saakashvili insists on joining NATO fervently hoping for Washington's support. Integration into the western power alliance is called to drive Georgia away from influence of Russia, which is not going to reconcile with it and openly demonstrates its confrontation," Frankfurter Allgemeine newspaper said.



"Georgia and Ukraine enjoy a special NATO attitude. Meanwhile, member states still debate on advisability on introducing the issue of Georgia's accession in the agenda in the near future. Germany, France and Italy are against the measure, since unwillingness to provoke Russia doesn't seem to be a weighty argument. Georgia's incapability to settle conflicts in Abkhazia and South Ossetia. A state, which is incapable to control a part of its own territory can't hope for accession to NATO," the newspaper said, Deutcshe Welle reports.
