The NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen believes Russia’s demands unreal to present legal guarantees not targeted against its EuroMD. Instead, Rasmussen offers Russia to adopt a political document on mutual non-aggression guarantees.
In an interview to the Interfax he said that the political document, by which the governments of 29 countries, including the NATO states and Russia, confirm the non-aggression guarantees against each other, is in power as any other legal document.
The NATO Secretary General emphasized that it is unreal to receive a legal document, which could have ratified by the 29 countries.
He also added that the missile threat is quite real, and it does require a real protection. Hence, it is decided to build a missile defense system. At the same time, NATO invites Russia to cooperate, as Russian and NATO systems could have cooperated.
