Russian Foreign Ministry: the United States and Turkey illegally create the Kosovo army

34
The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, pointed out to the United States and Turkey that they are violating international law by engaging in the creation of illegal armed groups. According to Maria Zakharova, the United States violates the action of the resolution 1244, adopted by the UN on Kosovo. RIA News cites the statement of Maria Zakharova:
According to reports, the American and Turkish contingents of the Kosovo Forces (KFOR) with the use of the Bondsteel military base, in violation of the mandate of the forces for Kosovo stipulated in 1244 resolution, are assisting the Pristina authorities in creating a full-fledged army.


Russian Foreign Ministry: the United States and Turkey illegally create the Kosovo army




Recall that the status of Kosovo initially did not imply the creation of its own armed forces in this territory. Moreover, the resolution that forbade Pristina to follow the path of creating its own army was also supported in Washington. As a result, under the cover of its own military base (one of the largest in Europe) and with the support of Turkey, Washington is assisting Pristina in the formation of armed forces, which is a contradiction to international norms.

Russia, as is known, does not recognize Kosovo as an independent state, reminding the United States that at one time they forcibly rejected part of Serbia even without a referendum.

Maria Zakharova:
As before, we presume that the creation of the Kosovo army violates international law, since it contradicts UNSC resolution 1244. This document provides for a military presence solely on the basis of the Security Council’s mandate.

      The Turks do not casual! Albanians are not a nationality, but only the direct descendants of the Janissaries, who returned to their lands after serving. The spoken slovens are in one word. So the Sultan-Erdogan decided to use them again in his own interests in order to increase his influence on Europe ...

        you have clear gaps in ethnology and history. Albanians are practically the indigenous population of the Balkans, the descendants of the Illyrians have nothing to do with the Slavs.

              Wow, it turned out stupid: I wrote - the "Balkans", who were abdicated, but I decided to fix the phone!
              And as for the descendants of the Janissaries, this is real! A lot of Turkish foot soldiers from these lands ...
              But the Illyrians themselves diluted their blood so much that they practically disappeared ... Leaving behind them Albanians of unknown nationality.

              The ability to be surprised is the main sign of learning ability. Having studied a little history, you will be surprised to learn 1. Janissaries are an estate, an analogue (approximate of course) of our Cossacks. In the Janissaries, CHRISTIAN children were recruited as a tax. There were a lot of Armenians and Bulgarians, naturally all of them converted to Islam. 2. Albanians are REALLY one of the oldest peoples of the Adriatic. Well, is it not surprising?

                about a janissary you came across a very superficial source. the recruitment of Christians by devshirme is a situation of the 14-16th centuries, at that time the Janissary corps totaled several thousand people and played practically no role in the Ottoman wars - in fact it was the Sultan Guard (the reasons for its creation from non-Turks are a separate issue). the analogy with the Cossacks is very tense, there is a coincidence of some paraphernalia, but no more. later, in the Janissaries, Muslims (Turks) were massively recruited, and it was during this period that they grew significantly numerically and made up the core of the Ottoman army.
                Albanians are REALLY one of the oldest peoples of the Adriatic. Well, is it not surprising?

                and what surprises you?

          Let's just say, not partners, not allies, and not fellow travelers. At this stage of time, they are most likely one of the parties with whom it is necessary to contact in solving the geopolitical problems facing Russia. By the way, mattresses are also not partners to us, not allies and fellow travelers, but amidst all the nasty things that Russia has to deal with, Turks are clearly better than the United States.

          hbz. Seen in your key. Rather, partners. A strong player in the region. Whose interests should be reckoned with. The fact that he is being forced to reckon with our interests does not put him in any special status.

    Everything is fine in this news, starting from Zakharova’s statement
    According to the appeared messages,

    and ending
    originally Kosovo status did not mean creation of own armed forces on this territory. Moreover, the resolution, which forbade Pristina follow the path of creating its own army

    So "did not mean" or "forbidden"?

For the past 25 years, the world order has been acting according to the law of the strongest, and international legal organizations are needed to ensure that if there were offended and weak cried together.

      Do you remember why there is no international law? Because the people of the Russian Federation once replaced their homeland for chewing gum. It’s clear why our Foreign Ministry can only chew inconspicuous laughing
      The USSR was the only state on the planet that restrained the appetites of the capitalists. The Russian Federation is just one of the cap.countries that depend on the foreign market, their dollar, etc. There is no counterweight to America in the world. They are almost omnipotent. Over time, maybe China will still say its word, but no one knows when and what. By the way, we are for them the same ideological enemy as the USA, because cap.country.

USSR-Russia surrendered everything the United States could with giblets, and now they express concern and trust in international law which is not.

    And he never was. The phrase was invented in situational interests, when no one could fill his face with impunity. The situation was different, everyone scored on the meaning of this phrase and turned it into an instrument, as it was originally, turned it not really hiding
