/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The NATO intensifies relations with partners in the South
Caucasus and Central Asia, NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer
stated today. In his words, the NATO has `to view some regions from a joint
trans-Atlantic point of view.’ `It is justified in case of the Caucasus,
Central Asia and the Near East,’ the NATO Sec. Gen. added. `The search for
ways of influence upon positive developments in these region should have the
nature of joint trans-Atlantic efforts, otherwise chances for success are
little,’ he added. He also noted, `we use the NATO to stimulate the
trans-Atlantic approach in question.’
