Alliance representative: NATO countries have developed a unified  position on the destabilizing role of Russia

ArmInfo.During the last NATO summit in Brussels, the member states worked out a unified position on the destabilizing role of Russia in Europe. Such a view was  expressed by James Appathurai, Special Representative of the NATO  Secretary General in the South Caucasus and Central Asia, speaking at  the round table "Armenia-NATO Cooperation: Current Stage and Future  Prospects".

"If earlier there were some disagreements among the countries of the  Alliance on this issue, at the last summit it became finally clear  that NATO's position on the role of Russia is now completely  identical." Moreover, in Brussels they concluded that Moscow will  continue to play this role," he said.

Appathurai emphasized three variants of Alliance's reaction to  Russia's behavior on the European continent. The first is the  deployment of military contingent in the Baltic states and Poland  containing 20 NATO states. The second - the development of dialogue  with Russia on settling the controversies and modification of unified  view on the situation. The third - help to the states that are under  Russian pressure.    

"First of all, we are talking about such countries as Ukraine. It's  no secret that we need to provide support to Montenegro, Georgia and  Moldova for the preservation of sovereignty by these countries. Of  course, after the annexation of the Crimea, the Black Sea region as a  whole is also in the zone of our close attention," stressed the NATO  officer.
