Responsibility for the future of the Conventional Forces in Europe Treaty lies with NATO countries, the head of a Russian delegation to a Vienna conference said Friday.

VIENNA, June 2 (RIA Novosti, Taras Lariokhin) - Responsibility for the future of the Conventional Forces in Europe Treaty lies with NATO countries, the head of a Russian delegation to a Vienna conference said Friday.

"Given the unconstructive position of NATO member countries, and their unwillingness to launch the ratification process of the adaptation agreement, all responsibility for the CFE's future will rest with our Western partners," said Anatoly Antonov, who heads the Foreign Ministry's department on security and disarmament.

"Russia will conduct a comprehensive analysis of the situation regarding control over armaments," he said, adding that the treaty no longer reflected the signatories' interests.
