The process of Georgia's accession to NATO is very important for both sides, but there is plenty of work to do, deputy director and fellow of Russia and Eurasia Program of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Cory Welt told a news conference in Yerevan.

Georgia has a good chance to join NATO, according to him. "Even if Mikhael Saakashvili is not re-elected Georgia's aspiration for Europe and NATO will not change. This policy was first proclaimed by Eduard Shevarnadze," Welt said.
