Moscow/Agency Caucasus – Georgia’s inclusion in the NATO, or the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, would speed up the process of Abkhazia’s recognition, said Nugzar Ashuba, Speaker of the Parliament of Abkhazia.
The likelihood was that Georgia might become a member of the NATO, Ashuba told a press conference in Moscow, capital of Moscow, and added that it would insert, along with its membership, some regional conflicts into the NATO.
"Even if Georgia becomes a member of the NATO three times, Abkhazia will never be mentioned," said Ashuba. Neither the Abkhazian people nor the Abkhazian state would be intimidated by anything, said Ashuba. "Georgia may become a member of the NATO, if it likes to; this will speed up the recognition of the independence of Abkhazia. The Duma says in its statement that in case of an attempt at including Georgia in the NATO, both the president and the government should speed up the process of recognition of our country’s independence.
