NATO-Russia Council forms
during Bush’s Europe trip
ByHon Hutcheson
Knight Ridder Newspapers
ROME (KRT) — In a move that
seemed unthinkable not long ago,
the United States and Europe on
Tuesday embraced Russia as a junior
partner in the NATO alliance and
agreed to work together to fight ter
rorism and defuse regional conflicts.
The decision to create a new
NATO-Russia Council that grants
the former communist giant shared,
if limited, authority was a remark
able turnabout for an alliance that
formed after World War II to counter
Soviet influence. President Bush
and other world leaders hailed the
change as a historic step toward in
ternational cooperation.
“Two former foes are now joined
as partners,” Bush said at a meeting
near Rome with NATO leaders and
Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“This partnership takes us closer to
an even larger goal — a Europe that
is whole, free and at peace for the
first time in history. ”
On the final day of his weeklong
visit to Europe and Russia, Bush also
visited Pope John Paul II and raised
concerns about the sex scandal in
volving priests and children that has
rocked the Roman Catholic Church.
“I am concerned about the
Catholic Church in America. I'm
concerned about its standing,” Bush
said before the Vatican stop. “I will
say that because the Catholic
Church is an incredibly important
institution in our country.”
I.
White House aides declined to re
peal details after the 20-minute ses
sion, Bush's second meeting with
the pope. A Vatican statement later
brushed past the sex scandal, say
ing the pope told Bush he had “faith
in the spiritual resources of Ameri
can Catholics despite the difficul
ties of the moment.”
As Bush prepared to leave, the
ailing 82-year-old pontiff rose shak
ily from his seat and said, “God
bless America. I hope to be able to
meet you again.”
Russia's participation in the new
ly christened NATO-Russia Coun
cil came four days after Bush and
Putin signed a treaty to pull about
two-thirds of their nuclear weapons
out of service. The two steps mark a
dramatic milestone in efforts to
shed the legacy of the Cold War.
“What’s happening today turns
completely on its head everything
we’ve lived with up to now,” said
Lord George Robertson, the secre
tary-general of NATO.
Only three years ago, in 1999,
Russia froze relations with NATO
after the alliance bombed Yu
goslavia to halt its war against the
breakaway province of Kosovo.
NATO members and their new
partner acknowledged that they have
a long way to go before their goal of
global cooperation becomes a reality.
Even with the new arrangement,
“there's a lot to do to give substance
to the vision,” British Prime Minis
ter Tony Blair said.
In a sign or lingering distrust,
NATO nations limited Russia's par
ticipation to a handful of issues, led
by terrorism, and gave any NATO
member the right to bar Russia from
deliberations. If the 20 members of
the new council lack full consensus
on any issue, the 19 non-Russian
NATO allies could address it alone.
Russia remains wary of NATO's
pending expansion, even though
several former Soviet satellite coun
tries, including the Baltic republics
on Russia's border, are clamoring to
join the alliance. The core NATO
members are expected to let about a
half dozen East European countries
join in November.
“Russia cannot have a veto over
who becomes a member or not,”
Secretary of State Golin Powell told
reporters in Rome.
Under the agreement with NATO,
Russia will cooperate on anti-terror
ism, search-and-rescue missions,
arms control, stopping the spread of
weapons of mass destruction and
emergency planning.
“Being realists, we must remem
ber that relations between Russia
and the North Atlantic alliance have
been historically far from straight
forward,” Putin said. Even so, the
Russian president said, the signifi
cance of the new NATO arrange
ment “cannot be overestimated.”
