Kosovo Fallouts
The
fallouts from our trip to Kosovo, with Bashar Al-Assad himself now weighing in.
In an interview
with a Russian TV station, Assad says (below is an English translation of in
French original):
President Bashar
al-Assad confirmed reports that rebels had attended training Syrian military
camps in Kosovo.
"We have
information confirming that a Syrian opposition group traveled to Kosovo to
gain experience in the field of armed intervention in a step to bring NATO to
Syria," said the head of the Syrian state in an interview with the Rossiya
television channel 24.
Mr. Assad says that he
has obtained this information from reliable sources (probably my blog).
Regarding
my part in the affair, the report went to note that:
In late April, the
Serbian news agency, Tanjug, referred to an announcement by Syrian exiled
Syrian opposition member, Ammar Abdulhamid, that the rebels would use the
experience of the Liberation Army Kosovo (KLA) to fight the regime of Bashar
al-Assad. According to Mr. Abdulhamid, members of the opposition have promised
to recognize Kosovo's independence in case of coming to power in Damascus. Pristina
confirmed to be in contact with the Syrian opposition, but refuted allegations of
training fighters.
