Poland denies asking US troop deployment

[Iran Press TV Latest] Warsaw has denied Russian media reports that Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski asked Washington to deploy US troops to protect Poland.

On Thursday, the Russian Interfax news agency quoted Sikorski as saying Poland had requesting the United States and NATO to deploy troops in Central Europe.

His comments came after media reports claimed Russia and Belarus had simulated nuclear strikes on Poland during massive war games in September.

"In this case we seem to be dealing with a deliberate manipulation," Foreign Ministry spokesman Piotr Paszkowski said on Friday, RiaNovosti reported.

The Polish diplomat suggested rewinding a video recording of Sikorski's comments.

Speaking at a conference on Central Europe at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, Sikorsky said Germany felt secure against the threat of a Warsaw Pact invasion during the Cold War not because of NATO's mutual defense clause, but because there were 300,000 US soldiers on its territory.

Paszkowski demanded a "swift and clear" apology from the news agency, saying its reports provoked what he described as "far-reaching reactions" in Russia.
