NATO slams Russia for a deal with Georgia's break-away regions

NATO deputy spokesman Carmen Romero has voiced official position of the alliance regarding the cooperation of the Russian Federation with the separatists.

He says that the deal violates an existing agreement and has urged Moscow to reverse the decision.

"We do not consider any agreements signed between the Russian Federation and the regions of Georgia as having any validity. The North Atlantic Council has condemned the decision by the Russian Federation to recognize the Georgian regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia and calls on it to revoke this decision," Romero said.
