NATO OFFICIAL DENIES RUMORS ABOUT NATO'S INTENTION TO STATION TROOPS TO
SOUTH CAUCASUS
TBILISI, APRIL 25, ARMENPRESS: Robert Simmons, a special envoy of the
NATO Secretary General to the South Caucasus and Central Asia told Sunday in
Georgian capital Tbilisi that the Alliance has not made a decision to deploy
its troops in any of the region's country. Robert Simmons arrived in Tbilisi
on a two-day visit on Sunday.
In an interview to Rustavi TV channel he said NATO has not decided to
station troops in the region to protect the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline or
any other economic facility, but he added that this question could be
discussed later.
Simmons reacted this way to some media allegations that NATO wanted to
deploy troops in Azerbaijan to protect oil fields in Azerbaijan and the
pipeline.
