Sukhum. January 18, 2021. Apsnypress. The Foreign Ministry of Abkhazia commented on the speech of NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at the conference of the Paris Scientific School on Foreign Affairs, where he said that it is "almost a provocation to question the right of a sovereign state to decide its own future ." “This statement, made in the context of discussing NATO's strategy to involve Georgia and Ukraine in the alliance, is of interest from the point of view of identifying the approaches of NATO member states to contemporary international realities. As follows from the speech of the head of NATO, the approaches of Brussels, formally equal and respectful towards all members of the international community, are in fact extremely selective and suffer from obvious tendentiousness, ” the RA Foreign Ministry's commentary says.
