/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "I suppose the NATO should not work for playing
a direct role in the settlement of conflicts in Nagorno Karabakh and
Transdniestria. We should not substitute for the OSCE or the Council of
Europe," said NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer. "Besides,
the Minsk Group of mediators (US, Russia and France) is engaged in
the Nagorno Karabakh problem," he noted. In his words, here the NATO
has to make as much effort as possible to strengthen the atmosphere
of confidence based on the respect of the territorial integrity of
states. "This also refers to regions as Abkhazia and South Ossetia. The
settlement of the issue of the status of Russian military bases
in Georgia was a positive more lately. We are not going to assume
the role of a gendarme of the world," Jaap de Hoop Scheffer added,
reported the Novye Izvestia.
