RF MFA: Georgia's population to decide whether to join NATO
Georgia's population will decide on joining NATO. But in this case Russia will make appropriate conclusions on ensuring its security," Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.

"I would like to remind that Georgia undertook to prevent deployment of military from third countries after withdrawal of Russian troops. Let's wait and see," he said, RIA Novosti reports.
