Russia criticises drone attacks in Pakistan

Go Russia

KARACHI: Russian Consul General, Andrey Demidov has said that America had no right to conduct drone attacks on Pakistan, as no country could ever be licensed for such an open and callous outrage. Addressing a press conference in reference to the 20th Independence Day of Russia, on Wednesday, he berated the inroads against Pakistan’s sovereignty by conducting indiscriminate drone attacks. He said that Russia had taken the issue quite seriously, and has also held talks with Pakistani officials regarding the matter. He said that economic relations between two countries were quite cordial, as compared to the past, while close coordination between the two countries was being carried out in sectors, such as terrorism, economic cooperation, and five channels of countering smuggling. He also informed that President Asif Ali Zardari had signed various memorandums of understanding (MOUs) on economic cooperation; according to which Russia would be upgrading steel mills, and also train experts. He also cited the Russian, satellite company, based in Saint Petersburg to start a $US 10 million annual project, an MOU for which had already been signed, and a deal in this regard was imminent in the near future. online

Yes.. This is interesting. Pakistani members here seem to be jumping from one stand to the other on the drone attacks according to the news article and convenience. Its funny that as a nation there is no clarity on whether the drone attacks are being done with Pakistani establishment in the know or not.

Initial drone attacks were with permission of the Pakistani Govt. However, I believe the same was withdrawn a few months back.
