/PanARMENIAN.Net/ On March 13 with 160 votes "for" Georgian Parliament
unanimously adopted the text of Declaration on Georgia's full and
urgent membership to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization - NATO. A
memorandum is attached to the Declaration undersigned by leaders of all
parliamentarian fractions and political parties, which are represented
in the Supreme Legislative body of the country. The memorandum also
is open to sign for political parties outside the parliament, which
support Georgia's membership to NATO.
The text of the Memorandum and Declaration touches upon Georgia's
defense policy aiming at subsequent integration of the country to the
Euro-Atlantic structures. They also indicate that it is necessary to
speed up the realization process of all commitments taken by Georgia
after joining the format of Intensive Dialog with NATO. The Memorandum
and Declaration also say that Georgian armed forces must participate
in all military operation under the NATO aegis, as well as reconsider
all new challenges and risks, which threaten Georgia and the necessity
to maximally protect the security of the country. The documents also
underline the importance to revise all necessary financial resources
during approval hearings of the budget in order to provide fulfillment
of commitments in the Declaration.
On the ceremony Parliament Speaker Nino Burjanadze stated, it is a
very important document, which fixes the joint stance of country's
political spectrum. "The adoption of this document is more important on
the background of the events in Upper Abkhazia. NATO is a priority for
the whole Georgian nation. Hopefully with the help of the Alliance
we will be able to restore country's territorial integrity and
protect sovereignty. And this organization is the only guarantee
for peace and stability in the region," Burjanadze underscored,
"Novosti-Gruzia" reports.
