London - Russia could consider joining NATO, the acting President, Mr Vladimir Putin, said yesterday in an interview with the BBC.
"I don't see why not - I wouldn't rule it out if and when the views of Russia are treated as those of an equal partner," Mr Putin said. "It is hard for me to visualise NATO as an enemy. I think even posing the question this way would not do any good to Russia or the world - the very question is capable of causing damage," he said.
