Russia views NATO as hovering between 'past and future'
RBC, 01.09.2010, Moscow 12:49:47.NATO has been hovering "between the past and the future" for far too long, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov announced today. "We expect our partners in the North-Atlantic alliance to provide us with more specifics," Lavrov stated today during a traditional lecture at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO). According to the minister, Moscow would like to see the alliance complete its political transformation into a modern organization in the sphere of ensuring security, demonstrate its willingness to participate in a partnership with other players, including Russian, on a parity basis, and fully comply with international laws. Lavrov also indicated, "The most crucial matter in practical relations between Russia and NATO is currently the need to make actual progress in fighting Afghanistan's drug trafficking, which has already become a real threat to international security."
