The North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or NATO, is continuing to militarize the Asia-Pacific and accumulates the conflict potential in it, Russian Foreign Ministry's Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Wednesday.
Speaking at the Eastern Economic Forum in the Far Eastern city of Vladivostok, Zakharova noticed that this was an attempt of the alliance to impose one's rules.
She said countries that "have struggled daily to overcome poverty and dependence during the colonial era are now unfortunately burdened by unresolved conflicts," in large part due to the colonizing countries, which have "created time bombs which are ready to go off", Xinhua news agency reported.
Zakharova said everything must be done to prevent this from happening.
