"The GUAM is planing a peacekeeping mission not only for Abkhazia and South Ossetia but also for Nagorno Karabakh and Transnistria, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Ivanov told Kathimerini Greek newspaper. In his words, such 'peacekeeping service' offered by a deliberately engaged union cannot be adequately perceived by all of the sides of the settlement process.

Certainly, Russia that stands for a political settlement of the conflicts, will take appropriate measures to prevent development by this scenario," the Minister underscored.
