/PanARMENIAN.Net/ `The Abkhazian conflict will not be
resolved and Georgia will not be invited to NATO in
the near future,' Columbia University Professor Robert
Legvold said. `I think the issue will not be discussed
at the NATO summit in Bucharest. Moreover, it won't be
discussed unless Ukraine joins the Alliance,' he
added.
Prof. Legvord doesn't think Russia will recognize
independence of Abkhazia, South Ossetia and
Transnistria as retaliation to proclamation of
Kosovo's independence. `I suppose, Russia used the
issue as a tool of political diplomatic pressure.
Recognition of Abkhazia will cost too much. Russia
will hardly want to shoulder this burden,' he said,
