NATO is not going to play the role of mediator in settling conflicts, NATO Secretary General’s Special Representative for Central Asia and Caucasus Robert Simons told Izvestia Russian newspaper. “We perceive our role differently and leave the settlement of conflicts to the OSCE” Mr. Simons emphasized. At the same time he noted that NATO has its own viewpoint on the conflicts, which will be announced during contacts with Russia within the frames of the Russia-NATO Council. In his words, the Alliance should try to be in the know of all the current developments in other organizations.
