OSLO, Norway (AP) - Russia has informed Norway that it plans to suspend all military ties with NATO, Norway's Defense Ministry said Wednesday.
The report comes a day after NATO foreign ministers said they would make further ties with Russia dependent on Moscow making good on a pledge to pull its troops back to pre-conflict positions in Georgia. However, they stopped short of calling an immediate halt to all cooperation.
The Nordic country's embassy in Moscow received a telephone call from ``a well-placed official in the Russian Ministry of Defense,'' who said Moscow plans ``to freeze all military cooperation with NATO and allied countries,'' Espen Barth Eide, state secretary with the Norwegian ministry said.
