NATO member Turkey to send troops to Kosovo amid unrest in the north

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.
