(MENAFN- AzerNews) Victor Dolidze, the head of the Georgian mission to NATO, on
Monday said the country's“ultimate goal” was full membership in
the alliance, and noted“it probably matters less by which
mechanism it will be ultimately determined - with or without the
membership action plan,” Azernews reports, citing Agenda.
In his comments ahead of the NATO Summit set to kick off on
Tuesday in Lithuania's capital city of Vilnius, Dolidze highlighted
the importance of the event based on the current Political and
military situation in the Black Sea region.
“The most important [factor] is our number one problem, which
concerns territorial integrity and sovereignty. I am sure that in
relation to Russia, it will be clearly reflected that Russia should
leave the territory of Georgia. I mean the military forces, they
should stop militarisation and at the same time withdraw the
decision on recognition [of the occupied territories]”, the
Georgian diplomat continued.
He also stressed Georgia needed a“political decision” from NATO
as“the ball is in NATO's court and we are waiting for this
decision to be made as soon as possible”.
The diplomat added his Government "always reminded" counterparts
in the bloc that "our ultimate goal is a full NATO membership",
adding "I hope this day will come”.
