Russia considers theses about the accelerated admission of Georgia to NATO dangerous, said Deputy Foreign Minister Grigory Karasin on Wednesday after another round of Geneva discussions on Transcaucasia.

"A separate topic we, together with our partners from Abkhazia and South Ossetia, highlighted the themes of the growing activity of the US and NATO in the South Caucasus region; numerous, rather large-scale multinational exercises of this military-political bloc," said Karasin.

"Our side stressed the danger on the threshold of the December NATO summit in London of pushing through various kinds of theses on the accelerated admission of Georgia to the members of the alliance," he stressed.

The Geneva discussions on security and stability in the South Caucasus are held since 2008 with the participation of Russia, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Georgia and the United States with the mediation of special representatives from the UN, the EU and the OSCE.

The work is traditionally conducted in two working groups - on security and on humanitarian issues.
