Russian Lawmakers Mull Closing NATO Office in Moscow


(MENAFN- Qatar News Agency) Moscow April 28 - The NATO Information Office in Moscow may be closed.

Russian lawmakers question whether it is reasonable for the NATO information office to continue to operate in Moscow taking into account that on April 1 foreign ministers of the 28 members of the alliance decided to suspend all practical civilian and military cooperation with Russia Russian newspaper (Kommersant) reports.

A source in the Russian ministry of defense confirmed the information. However sources close to the administration of the Russian president pointed out that the decision has not been made yet.

"That's a sound counter measure since under current conditions it's impossible to find common ground with NATO" said the source.

NATO sources told Kommersant that they have not received any notification that their information office might be closed.
