"Georgia joining NATO could trigger terrible conflict"
The prime minister recalled that the 2008 armed conflict between Georgia and South Ossetia, which also involved Russia, "was not inevitable" and "could have been prevented."During a recent NATO summit, the organization's Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg reiterated intention to grant membership to Georgia, but did not say when it could happen.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, in turn, stated that Moscow would view NATO’s further expansion, including the accession of Georgia and Ukraine, highly negatively, TASS is reporting.
