NATO chief urges political settlement in ChechnyaMoscow, 23 November: NATO has started to gain a better understanding of
the problems facing Russia in Chechnya, NATO Secretary-General George
Robertson has said.
After the 11 September tragedy in the USA, NATO has been increasingly
perceptive of Russia's concern over international terror in Chechnya,
Robertson said at a press conference before his departure from Moscow
on
Friday [23 November].
NATO respects Russia's territorial integrity, but it is also sincerely
concerned over the human rights record in Chechnya. The alliance
believes that a political solution to the Chechen problem would be more
appropriate, Robertson said. RELATED ARTICLES:
