Georgia wants to join Nato. Its Defence Minister, Tinatin
Khidasheli, has been touring European Union countries making the
case for the former Soviet state to join the club of western
nations who vow to defend each other's borders. But It was only a
few months ago that Russia extended its control over South
Ossetia and Abkhazia, which the United Nations still recognises
as Georgian territory. Hardtalk’s Sarah Montague asks whether
Nato is prepared to face up to Russia over Georgia?
