YEREVAN, JUNE 3, ARMENPRESS. Turkey plans to send commandos to Kosovo in response to a NATO request to join its KFOR peacekeeping force following the latest unrest, Reuters reported citing the Turkish defence ministry.
In a statement on Saturday, the ministry called for restraint and constructive dialogue to resolve a crisis that it said could harm regional security and stability.
“Our assigned unit (a commando battalion) is planned to be deployed to … Kosovo on June 4-5,” the ministry said.
NATO earlier said that 700 additional troops from the alliance will be deployed to Kosovo.
