According to Kapustin, NATO Charter prohibits the employment in the organization of countries that have unresolved territorial conflicts, and Ukraine claims to the Crimea, which became part of Russia according to the results of the referendum in March.
However, the expert said that NATO " blind eye " when membership in the proportion of countries that have territorial debate, for example, This applies to Turkey and Greece with the dispute concerning sovereignty and related rights in the waters of the Aegean sea and airspace above it.
" in principle, the NATO Charter is recorded That before the settlement of disputes, the issue of admission of the country into the Alliance is not considered. It is an axiom. But the debate unresolved, there is, for example, the UK and Spain, have a dispute in respect of Gibraltar. But all these discussions are not sharp political nature, " said Kapustin Last news .
With regard to the dispute between Ukraine and Russia, " there is a more complex issue, " said the specialist." Ukraine considers the Crimea as occupied by the Russian side, so not ruled out the use of military force. That is, if Ukraine joins NATO, then the Alliance takes on its own shoulders the obligation to protect, and for NATO It is extremely dangerous, " said the head of the Russian Association of international law.
in addition, showed Kapustin, " goes with weapons of conflict in the South-East of Ukraine, in these conditions to take into NATO state, on the area which goes with weapons of conflict, there is a big problem for them."
" I think That Ukraine is, of course, declared invalid non-aligned status, But It is, as claimed, in the hope of a happy future and a possible shuntirovanii Russia, " he said.
the specialist believes That most States in NATO " does not quite want to be mixed up in the conflict, and be able to block This decision.
