„We are NATO. We are a defensive alliance, not an offensive one. We have no interest in conquering any part of any country outside the territory of NATO," the secretary general of the pact pointed out and added: "As a democratic alliance, the most powerful alliance in world history, uniting 1 billion people, we are ready to counter any threat.
