"NATO is using the armed UCK extremists as a vehicle for the transference of tensions and crises to the interior of all Balkans countries. For this reason, NATO initially arms them and then calls [on] them to voluntarily turn in their arms, after having in the meanwhile upgraded them to political discussants." Macedonia Press Agency (Athens) LEFT AGAINST INVOLVEMENT IN FYROM Athens, 22 August 2001 (11:18 UTC+2) The President of the Coalition, Nikos Konstantopoulos, was brought up to date on the FYROM issues by the Minister of National Defense, Akis Tsohatzopoulos, in a meeting they had in the Pentagon. Mr. Konstantopoulos repeated that the Coalition's position is that Greece should not be involved in the FYROM crisis by sending military forces, because, as he stressed, the dangers are increased and the peace treaty is safe. In statements after the meeting, Mr. Konstantopoulos stressed that "NATO interference in the Balkans with the cooperation of the EU, substitutes the UN and has destabilizing consequences on all the area of SE Europe". "NATO is using the armed UCK extremists as a vehicle for the transference of tensions and crises to the interior of all Balkan countries", said Mr. Konstantopoulos and added: "For this reason, NATO initially arms them and then calls them to voluntarily turn in their arms, after having in the meanwhile upgraded them to political discussants". _________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
