para. 29: We welcome Georgia’s progress since the Bucharest Summit to meet its
Euro-Atlantic aspirations through its reforms, implementation of its Annual
National Programme, and active political engagement with the Alliance in the
NATO-Georgia Commission.We continue to encourage and actively support
Georgia's ongoing implementation of all necessary reforms, including democratic,
electoral, and judicial reforms, as well as security and defence reforms. In that
context, we have agreed to enhance Georgia’s connectivity with the Alliance,
REFORMS including by further strengthening our political dialogue, practical cooperation,
implementation and interoperability with Georgia. We stress the importance of conducting free,
fair, and inclusive elections in 2012 and 2013.
 para. 24: We welcome our meeting in Chicago with thirteen partners who have
recently made particular political, operational, and financial contributions to
NATO-led operations.
Para. 29:
We appreciate Georgia’s substantial contribution, in particular as the second
largest non-NATO troop contributing nation to ISAF, to Euro-Atlantic security.

Partnership
 We reiterate our continued support to the territorial integrity and sovereignty of
Georgia within its internationally recognised borders. We welcome Georgia’s full
compliance with the EU-mediated cease-fire agreement and other unilateral
measures to build confidence. We welcome Georgia’s commitment not to use
force and call on Russia to reciprocate. We continue to call on Russia to reverse
its recognition of the South Ossetia and Abkhazia regions of Georgia as
independent states. We encourage all participants in the Geneva talks to play a
constructive role as well as to continue working closely with the OSCE, the UN,
and the EU to pursue peaceful conflict resolution in the internationally-
recognised territory of Georgia.

Occupation
 para. 10 on retreaving from Afghanistan: We welcome the progress on transit
arrangements with our Central Asian partners and Russia.
Para. 36: NATO-Russia cooperation is of strategic importance as it contributes to
creating a common space of peace, stability and security. We remain
determined to build a lasting and inclusive peace, together with Russia, in the
Euro-Atlantic area, based upon the goals, principles and commitments of the
NATO-Russia Founding Act and the Rome Declaration.
Para. 37: We welcome important progress in our cooperation with Russia over
the years. At the same time, we differ on specific issues and there is a need to
improve trust, reciprocal transparency, and predictability in order to realise the
full potential of the NRC. In this context, we intend to raise with Russia in the
NRC Allied concerns about Russia’s stated intentions regarding military
deployments close to Alliance borders. Mindful of the goals, principles and
commitments which underpin the NRC, and on this firm basis, we urge Russia to
meet its commitments with respect to Georgia, as mediated by the EU on 12
August and 8 September 2008. We continue to be concerned by the build-up of
Russia’s military presence on Georgia’s territory and continue to call on Russia
to ensure free access for humanitarian assistance and international observers.

Para 93: At the 2008 Bucharest Summit we agreed that Georgia will become a
member of NATO and we reaffirm all elements of that decision, as well as
subsequent decisions. Since then, Georgia has made significant progress and has
come closer to NATO by implementing ambitious reforms and making good use
of the NATO-Georgia Commission and Annual National Programme. We note that
Georgia's relationship with the Alliance contains the tools necessary to continue
moving Georgia forward towards eventual membership. Today we have
endorsed a substantial package for Georgia that includes defence capacity
building, training, exercises, strengthened liaison, and enhanced interoperability
opportunities. These measures aim to strengthen Georgia's defence and
interoperability capabilities with the Alliance, which will help Georgia advance in
its preparations towards membership in the Alliance.
Para 98: Here in Wales, our Foreign Ministers have met their counterparts from
Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Montenegro, and the former Yugoslav Republic
of Macedonia. Ministers discussed the progress made by these countries, the
Euro-Atlantic integration process, and other key Summit issues, including the
international security situation. NATO is grateful to these partners for the
significant contributions that they continue to make to NATO's objectives and to
international security and stability.

Para. 93: NATO recognises Georgia's significant efforts to strengthen its

democracy and to modernise its military forces and defence institutions. We
welcome the democratic development of Georgia, including through the peaceful
transfer of power following parliamentary and presidential elections in 2012 and
2013, respectively. We encourage Georgia to continue implementation of
reforms, including consolidating democratic institutions, taking forward judicial
reforms, and ensuring full respect for the rule of law.
Para 89: Today we have decided to launch a Defence and Related Security
Capacity Building Initiative to reinforce our commitment to partner nations and
to help the Alliance to project stability without deploying large combat forces, as
part of the Alliance's overall contribution to international security and stability
and conflict prevention. The Initiative builds upon NATO's extensive expertise in
supporting, advising and assisting nations with defence and related security
capacity building. Building on our close cooperation and following their requests,
we have agreed to extend this initiative to Georgia, Jordan, and the Republic of
Moldova.
Para. 93: NATO highly appreciates Georgia's sizeable contribution to the ISAF
operation and recognises the sacrifices Georgian troops have made in
Afghanistan. Together with Georgia's offer to participate in the NATO Response
Force, these contributions demonstrate Georgia's role as a contributor to our
shared security.

nations (Australia, Jordan, Finland, and Sweden)
Para 94: We reiterate our continued support to the territorial integrity and
sovereignty of Georgia within its internationally recognised borders. We welcome
Georgia's full compliance with the EU-mediated cease-fire agreement and other
multilateral measures to build confidence. We welcome Georgia's commitment
not to use force and call on Russia to reciprocate. We continue to call on Russia to
reverse its recognition of the South Ossetia and Abkhazia regions of Georgia as
independent states and to withdraw its forces from Georgia. We encourage all
participants in the Geneva talks to play a constructive role as well as to continue
working closely with the OSCE, the UN, and the EU to pursue peaceful conflict
resolution in the internationally recognised territory of Georgia.
Para. 18: We are also concerned by Russia's pattern of disregard for international
law, including the UN Charter; its behaviour towards Georgia and the Republic of
Moldova; its violation of fundamental European security arrangements and
commitments, including those in the Helsinki Final Act; its long-standing non-
implementation of the Conventional Armed Forces in Europe Treaty (CFE); and its
use of military and other instruments to coerce neighbours.
Para 30: Russia's illegitimate occupation of Crimea and military intervention in
eastern Ukraine have raised legitimate concerns among several of NATO's other
partners in Eastern Europe. Allies will continue to support the right of partners to
make independent and sovereign choices on foreign and security policy, free from
external pressure and coercion. Allies also remain committed in their support to
the territorial integrity, independence, and sovereignty of Armenia, Azerbaijan,
Georgia and the Republic of Moldova.
Para 16: We condemn in the strongest terms Russia's escalating and illegal
military intervention in Ukraine and demand that Russia stop and withdraw its
forces from inside Ukraine and along the Ukrainian border.
We do not and will not recognise Russia's illegal and illegitimate 'annexation' of
Crimea. We demand that Russia comply with international law and its
international obligations and responsibilities; end its illegitimate occupation of
Crimea; refrain from aggressive actions against Ukraine; withdraw its troops; halt
the flow of weapons, equipment, people and money across the border to the
separatists; and stop fomenting tension along and across the Ukrainian border.
Russia must use its influence with the separatists to de-escalate the situation and
take concrete steps to allow for a political and a diplomatic solution which
respects Ukraine's sovereignty, territorial integrity, and internationally recognised
borders.
Para. 22: We continue to believe that a partnership between NATO and Russia
based on respect for international law would be of strategic value. We continue
to aspire to a cooperative, constructive relationship with Russia, including
reciprocal confidence building and transparency measures and increased mutual
understanding of NATO's and Russia's non-strategic nuclear force postures in
Europe, based on our common security concerns and interests, in a Europe where
each country freely chooses its future. We regret that the conditions for that
relationship do not currently exist. As a result, NATO's decision to suspend all
practical civilian and military cooperation between NATO and Russia remains in
place. Political channels of communication, however, remain open.
Para 23: The Alliance does not seek confrontation and poses no threat to Russia.
But we cannot and will not compromise on the principles on which our Alliance
and security in Europe and North America rest.

Para 110: We remain fully committed to the integration of those countries that
aspire to join the Alliance, judging each on its own merits. We encourage those
partners who aspire to join the Alliance – Georgia, the former Yugoslav Republic
of Macedonia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina – to continue to implement the
necessary reforms and decisions to prepare for membership. We will continue to
offer support to their efforts and look to them to take the steps necessary to
advance their aspirations.
Para 111: At the 2008 Bucharest Summit we agreed that Georgia will become a
member of NATO with MAP as an integral part of the process; today we reaffirm
all elements of that decision, as well as subsequent decisions. We welcome the
significant progress realised since 2008. Georgia's relationship with the Alliance
contains all the practical tools to prepare for eventual membership. This year's
parliamentary elections will be another key step towards the consolidation of
democratic institutions. We encourage Georgia to continue making full use of all
the opportunities for coming closer to the Alliance offered by the NATO-Georgia
Commission, the Annual National Programme, its role as an enhanced
opportunities partner, its participation in our Defence Capacity Building Initiative,
and the Substantial NATO-Georgia Package.

para 23: In the Black Sea region, the security situation has also deteriorated in
recent years. We will continue to address the implications for NATO of
developments in the region and take them into account in the Alliance's
approaches and policies. We will continue to support, as appropriate, regional
efforts by the Black Sea littoral states aimed at ensuring security and stability. We
will also strengthen our dialogue and cooperation with Georgia and Ukraine in
this regard.
para 82: The Defence and Related Security Capacity Building (DCB) Initiative that
we adopted in Wales has proven a particularly important tool to help project
stability, providing support to Georgia, Iraq, Jordan, and the Republic of Moldova.
We are committed to further develop and adequately resource our capacity
building efforts.
Para 112: JTEK: We welcome the important progress made in implementing the
Substantial NATO-Georgia Package, which we initiated at the Wales Summit.
Allies will provide support to the development of Georgia's air defence and air
surveillance. We will also deepen our focus on security in the Black Sea region.
para101: As part of the Partnership Interoperability Initiative, at Wales we also
agreed to offer enhanced opportunities for cooperation to Australia, Finland,
Georgia, Jordan and Sweden, in recognition of their significant operational
contributions to NATO. These partners have been increasingly involved into
NATO's work on our common security challenges. Their participation at this
Summit testifies to the deep links we have built with them.
Para 113: We reiterate our support to the territorial integrity and sovereignty of
Georgia within its internationally recognised borders. We welcome Georgia's
commitment not to use force and call on Russia to reciprocate. We call on Russia
to reverse its recognition of the South Ossetia and Abkhazia regions of Georgia as
independent states, to stop its construction of border-like obstacles along the
administrative boundary lines, and to withdraw its forces from Georgia. NATO
does not recognise the so-called treaties signed between the Abkhazia region of
Georgia and Russia in November 2014, and the South Ossetia region of Georgia
and Russia in March 2015. These violate Georgia's sovereignty and territorial
integrity and blatantly contradict the principles of international law, OSCE
principles and Russia's international commitments. We encourage all participants
in the Geneva talks to play a constructive role, as well as to continue working
closely with the OSCE, the UN, and the EU to pursue peaceful conflict resolution in
the internationally recognised territory of Georgia.

თემა ეხება მხოლოდ უკრაინას para 9-24
Para 10: Russia's destabilising actions and policies include: the ongoing illegal and
illegitimate annexation of Crimea, which we do not and will not recognise and
which we call on Russia to reverse; the violation of sovereign borders by force; the
deliberate destabilisation of eastern Ukraine; large-scale snap exercises contrary to
the spirit of the Vienna Document, and provocative military activities near NATO
borders, including in the Baltic and Black Sea regions and the Eastern
Mediterranean; its irresponsible and aggressive nuclear rhetoric, military concept
and underlying posture; and its repeated violations of NATO Allied airspace. In
addition, Russia's military intervention, significant military presence and support
for the regime in Syria, and its use of its military presence in the Black Sea to
project power into the Eastern Mediterranean have posed further risks and
challenges for the security of Allies and others.
Para 11: NATO has responded to this changed security environment by enhancing
its deterrence and defence posture, including by a forward presence in the eastern
part of the Alliance, and by suspending all practical civilian and military
cooperation between NATO and Russia, while remaining open to political dialogue
with Russia. We reaffirm these decisions.

Para 12: As we agreed, talking to Russia allows us to communicate clearly our

positions, with the crisis in and around Ukraine being, in current circumstances,
the first topic on our agenda. We remain open to a periodic, focused and
meaningful dialogue with a Russia willing to engage on the basis of reciprocity in
the NRC, with a view to avoiding misunderstanding, miscalculation, and
unintended escalation, and to increase transparency and predictability. We also
have military lines of communication. We have agreed to continue to use all these
channels to address the critical issues we face, and call on Russia to make good use
of all lines of communication.
Para 15: As we agreed at our Wales Summit, we will continue our strategic
discussion on Euro-Atlantic security and our approach to Russia. As we also agreed
at Wales, we continue to believe that a partnership between NATO and Russia,
based on respect for international law and commitments, including as reflected in
the NATO-Russia Founding Act and Rome Declaration, would be of strategic value.
We regret that despite repeated calls by Allies and the international community
since 2014 for Russia to change course, the conditions for that relationship do not
currently exist. The nature of the Alliance's relations with Russia and aspirations
for partnership will be contingent on a clear, constructive change in Russia's
actions that demonstrates compliance with international law and its international
obligations and responsibilities. Until then, we cannot return to "business as
usual".
 2018

Para 65: We reiterate the decision made at

the 2008 Bucharest Summit that Georgia will
become a member of the Alliance, with MAP
as an integral part of the process; we reaffirm
all elements of that decision, as well as
subsequent decisions.We welcome the
significant progress realised since 2008. We
welcome the central role played by the NATO-
Georgia Commission and the Annual National
Programme over the past decade in
deepening political dialogue and cooperation
between NATO and Georgia.
Georgia’s relationship with the Alliance
contains all the practical tools to prepare for
eventual membership.

Para 65: We recognise the significant progress

on reforms which Georgia has made and must
continue, which are helping Georgia, an
aspirant country, progress in its preparations
towards membership, and which strengthen
Georgia’s defence and interoperability
capabilities with the Alliance.
დაკონკრეტებული არ აქვთ არაფერი
Para 65: We welcome the developing
cooperation between NATO and Georgia, an
enhanced opportunities partner, on Black Sea
security, and the considerable progress in
implementing a number of initiatives under
the umbrella of the Substantial NATO-
Georgia Package. We highly appreciate
Georgia’s significant and steadfast
contributions to the NATO Response Force
and the Resolute Support mission. These
efforts, along with Georgia’s participation in
EU-led operations, demonstrate Georgia’s
commitment and capability to contribute to
Euro-Atlantic security. We stand ready to
enhance further our support to Georgia,
including in the areas of counter-mobility,
training and exercises, and secure
communications, and we look forward to the
next NATO-Georgia exercise in 2019.
Para 7: We reiterate our support for the
territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine,
Georgia, and the Republic of Moldova within
their internationally recognised borders. In
accordance with its international
commitments, we call on Russia to withdraw
the forces it has stationed in all three
countries without their consent.
We call on Russia to reverse its recognition of
the Abkhazia and South Ossetia regions of
Georgia as independent states; to implement
the EU-mediated 12 August 2008 ceasefire,
particularly the withdrawal of Russian forces
from the territory of Georgia; to end its
militarisation of these regions; and to stop
the construction of border-like obstacles.
Para 2: Russia’s aggressive actions, including
the threat and use of force to attain political
goals, challenge the Alliance and are
undermining Euro-Atlantic security and the
rules-based international order.
Para 4: Russia’s recent activities and policies
have reduced stability and security, increased
unpredictability, and changed the security
environment.
Para 5: We reaffirm our decisions towards
Russia agreed at the Wales and Warsaw
Summits. We continue to respond to the
deteriorated security environment by
enhancing our deterrence and defence
posture, including by a forward presence in
the eastern part of the Alliance. We have also
suspended all practical civilian and military
cooperation between NATO and Russia, while
remaining open to political dialogue. NATO
does not seek confrontation and poses no
threat to Russia.
