Albania to open bases to NATO in case of war on Iraq 

TIRANA, March 4 (AFP) - The Albanian parliament Monday
voted unanimously to open the country's air and naval
bases to NATO in case of a war on Iraq and reiterated
the government's hardline stance in the crisis.

The parliament also authorized the government to use
all of Albania's military resources to assist efforts
aimed against the regime of Iraq President Saddam
Hussein, according to the parliamentary press office.

"Baghdad continues to be a potential threat to peace
and security," parliament said in its resolution,
echoing recent statement by senior Albanian officials.

In a recent article in the Boston Globe daily, which
was reprinted by the Albanian press, Albanian Prime
Minister Fatos Nano strongly backed the US stance in
the Iraq crisis.

"Maybe today is the time for European leaders to visit
the Normandy beaches to see what the United States did
in the name of freedom," Nano said. "It is thanks to
the courage and the generosity of Americans that today
countries like France and Germany... have become free
countries."

"Europeans should remember the help that the United
States and Britain brought during the Second World
War," he said.

Britain has been the staunchest supporter of the
United States on the Iraq standoff, while France and
Germany have led European opposition in the crisis.
