Saakashvili: Georgia May Join NATO in 2014

Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili, who took part in the NATO summit in Chicago, believes that Georgia is highly likely to become a full-fledged NATO member in 2014. "The next summit is due to take place in 2014 and Georgia has very good chances of becoming a full-fledged member of NATO together with the three Balkans countries. I have never been so sure of that as I am now," Saakashvili told reporters in Chicago. "I think our ill-wisher - I will not name him - will do everything to destabilize Georgia before the next NATO summit, including during the elections, and then will say that a country like Georgia can't join NATO, like they did in 2008. However, the people of Georgia are already experienced and will not make the same mistake again," Saakashvili said.
