Instability in the Arab world is not a military threat to NATO but could cause a resurgence of illegal immigration in Europe, said Monday the Secretary General of the Atlantic Alliance Anders Fogh Rasmussen said.
"I do not consider the situation" in the south of the Mediterranean "as representing a direct threat to NATO or its members," he told reporters, referring to the wind of revolt in Egypt and Tunisia. However, "the evolution in the Middle East and North Africa may have an impact on the peace process in the Middle East, instability in the region also have on the longer-term negative impact on the economy of this region, resulting in illegal immigration in Europe, etc.." he added.
