Spain has joined the group of nations calling for Georgia to join NATO. Spain told Georgia’s leaders that at the very moment it would own the presidency of the European Union, in 2010, Georgia would have a strong ally in the E.U., which would defend Georgia’s territorial integrity and its attempt to join NATO.
If this would happen it would almost certainly put Europe at odds with Russia, but Spain does not seem to be afraid of such a thing. Spain would, perhaps, even go on collision course with other members of the EU, this too does not seem to worry the Spaniards.
“Always, Spain has defended this principle, not like other countries that consider that this principle can be used in certain circumstances,” Spain’s foreign minister said about Georgia’s territorial integrity and other EU members.
