The alliance should agree... to an effective NATO role against the new threats presented by international terrorism and weapons of mass destruction.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We'll uphold our treaty obligations, including the mutual defense agreement that is NATO.
We will continue to be a big contributor to NATO and our interests will be more secure.
We also have a real opportunity to join NATO.
And I think to be in NATO for the countries of our region, it means more guarantees for us, it means more responsibility for our common security, but it means fulfillment of all standards of civilized world, like protection of human rights and democratic mechanisms.
Finally we are a nation with some conscience. It means alliances are extremely important when they're based on a national interest. We have to have the ability to sustain our presence within those alliances.
The proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery is a threat to both the Nato allies and Russia.
Our alliances should be understood as a means to expand our influence, not as a constraint on our power. The expansion of democracy and freedom in the world should be a shared interest and value with all nations.
We welcome, we welcome this good cooperation between Russia and NATO.
We have a firm commitment to NATO, we are a part of NATO. We have a firm commitment to Europe. We are a part of Europe.
I think that NATO is itself a war criminal.
