Russia can not influence process of NATO expansion – Rasmussen
BRUSSELS: The countries, which are not NATO members, can not influence the process of the Alliance’s expansion, NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said.
Neither Russia nor any other country, which is not a NATO member, can influence this issue, Rasmussen said at a news conference in Brussels in regard to the relations between NATO and Moscow.
NATO has an open door policy, according to which European countries, complying with a number of demands, can seek membership in the Alliance, Rasmussen said.
