LATVIAN POPULAR FRONT EX-CHAIRMAN TO REPRESENT NATO IN SOUTH CAUCASUS

PanARMENIAN.Net - Adviser to Latvian Defense Minister Romuald Razuks will become the Formal NATO Envoy in the South Caucasus. Next January he will depart for Tbilisi to assume the office. The decision on creating the post of the NATO representative in the South Caucasus and Central Asia was taken at the NATO Istanbul summit this summer. To note, Mr. Razuks was one of the founders and later the chairman of the Latvian Popular Front. The appointment of the official from a Baltic state is a current step of NATO and EU policy to offer the Baltic states the "patronage" over South Caucasus within the frames of euro-integration.
