Itar-Tass February 6, 2010 OSCE principles did not work to prevent mil actions - RF FM MUNICH: The OSCE had a real chance to become a full value organization, but the choice was made in favour of the policy of NATO enlargement, and it meant that not only the lines dividing Europe in zones with various levels of security remained, but also that the lines were moved east, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Saturday when speaking at the Munich Conference on Security. Lavrov drew attention particularly to the fact that two latest history episodes confirmed the conclusion that the OSCE security indivisibility principle did not work. He said about the bombardment of Yugoslavia in 1999 and the tragedy in the Caucasus in August 2008. The OSCE's looseness and the lack of clear rules resulted in the fact that the information of OSCE observers about the Georgian leaders' preparations for a military attack was not reported to the OSCE Permanent Council and it could not take appropriate measures, Lavrov noted. The Russia-NATO Council also failed - some members of the council blocked Russia's request to convene an urgent meeting when the military actions were at the height, the minister said. =========================== Stop NATO http://groups.yahoo.com/group/stopnato Blog site: http://rickrozoff.wordpress.com/ To subscribe, send an e-mail to: rwroz...@yahoo.com or stopnato-subscr...@yahoogroups.com Daily digest option available. ============================== --------------------------- ANTI-NATO INFORMATION LIST --^---------------------------------------------------------------- This email was sent to: arch...@mail-archive.com EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?a84x2u.bNM5nn.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: antinato-unsubscr...@topica.com For Topica's complete suite of email marketing solutions visit: http://www.topica.com/?p=TEXFOOTER --^----------------------------------------------------------------
