BRUSSELS, Dec 8 (KUNA) -- NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen Thursday stressed that the Alliance has no intention of intervening in Syria.
"We have no intention whatsoever to intervene in Syria. I have stated that on several occasions and I would like to repeat that. NATO has no intention whatsoever to intervene in Syria," he told a press conference at the end of a two-day meeting of NATO foreign ministers.
He said the ministers agreed that the NATO operation in Libya was a great success because it prevented a massacre of the Libyan people.
There was also agreement that NATO is prepared to enhance partnerships with countries in the region including Libya if the countries so wish, he added. (end) nk.mt KUNA 081921 Dec 11NNNN
