Tsyganok: relations between Russia and NATO will deteriorate
Relations between NATO And Russia will deteriorate, but There are areas of cooperation where NATO will never refuse, said Last news the head of the Center for military forecasting Anatoly Tsyganok.

The next NATO summit, planned for early September in Wales (UK), will be held without the participation of the Russian side said on the first day of the week print edition " ". The main themes of the summit, however, have regard to Russia, And among them in the context of Ukrainian fall.


The decision not to invite to the summit of the Russian Federation is not very logical, believes Gypsies." If the agenda is made to a question about relations with Russia, it would be logical to invite the Russian Ambassador, " he says. In the near future, according to forecasts of experts, cooperation with NATO will only be reduced, I'm sure Tsyganok." in the foreseeable future Relations will be moving worse. The only NATO country, which is quite good to Russia - Turkey. This is the Only country which has not entered punishment. Cause in the upcoming Russia, And Turkey does not want to let the American fleet in the Black sea, " says the specialist.


for reviews of Gypsy, NATO will be a big blow, If Russia decides to freeze the corridor through its territory for delivery of cargo to Afghanistan." A real problem for NATO If Russia refuses to provide its territory for NATO cargo transit to Afghanistan. Because 80% of the cargo from Afghanistan Alliance exports through Russian territory, " said Tsyganok,


as an example of how the situation will develop Relations between the Alliance And the capital of Russia, specialist led the Georgian conflict." Let's turn to 2008, when Russia did not pay attention to Washington And Brussels And defending their national desires, decided to conduct a peacekeeping operation in Georgia. Then throughout the year between Russia And NATO had no cooperation ", - said the expert.


" Currently the situation is as follows: once Russia got the Crimea, And Washington And NATO, spoke very harshly introduced punishment, said that will no longer invite the Russian Federation at the meeting. Moreover, there are yet four months ago said that he will not be shared maneuvers, maneuvers, And are planned for this year about fifteen trips), If earlier, our sailors, however, had been invited to take part in military campaigns, At the present time, this prompt does not come, " said the Gypsy.

according to him, for the last time Russia responds to any actions by NATO." NATO has conducted exercises - Russia responds And carries out similar exercises, with a comparable number of soldiers, " he added Tsyganok.

NATO using difficulties Russia has increased its accumulation in Eastern Europe. So, If previously in the Baltic States there were only four aircraft, currently 16." But This means? Flight time from this point to St. Petersburg only eight minutes, " said the expert.


And yet in certain areas of cooperation between NATO And Russia will not be curtailed completely." There are things from which they never refuse: I don't think NATO will refuse, for example, from the reciprocal struggle with crime, they do not abandon the rescue of astronauts. But the win against the pirates have the opportunity to calculations to refuse, " said his opinion specialist.
