27 October 2011 [13:00] - TODAY.AZ
NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen's visit to Tbilisi is a display of the Alliance's support for Georgia, NATO Special Representative for the Caucasus and Central Asia James Appathurai told journalists in Tbilisi on Thursday.

"Georgia has made great successes on its NATO integration, reforming the country, and we recognize this success of Georgia," he said.

However, Appathurai said Georgia will have to carry the reforms on the democratization of the country and armed forces to completion to meet NATO standards.

"We help Georgia in this matter. In this regard the Georgia-NATO Commission was established and we implement annual programs. All this brings Georgia close to accession to the Alliance," he said.
