LYON, Feb 10 (CNA) - Global police body Interpol said on Thursday (Feb 10) it will not provide help to countries in situations that involve domestic politics, days after the Myanmar army announced it had sought support.

The Myanmar army's foreign affairs ministry said on Tuesday it had called on various international security organisations to work with Myanmar to fight "terrorism", citing the actions of its opponents, including the National Unity Government (NUG), the country's de facto shadow government.

Responding to CNA queries, an Interpol spokesperson said it does not comment on specific cases or specific activities of a member country, apart from in exceptional circumstances.

But the statement added: "Interpol will not provide assistance for any requests which might draw the organisation into matters involving domestic politics such as notices requested for political opponents, critics of a government, or in the context of a coup d'etat, etc."

The Myanmar-army appointed foreign minister Wunna Maung Lwin held a diplomatic briefing session for ambassadors and UN officials on Tuesday in Yangon.

During the briefing, Wunna Maung Lwin accused the NUG, Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH) and People's Defence Force (PDF) of terrorist acts such as the killing of innocent civilians and government staff, and damaging public buildings like schools, hospitals and bridges.

CRPH was formed by ousted lawmakers shortly after the Feb 1 coup. The NUG was later established, followed by the PDF, which is currently waging a "People's Defensive War" against the military.

In a statement, the Myanmar-army appointed foreign ministry said it had notified the UN's and ASEAN's counter-terrorism bodies, the Chiefs of ASEAN Police (ASEANPOL) and Interpol to denounce NUG, CRPH, PDF, calling for "positive cooperation in the fight against terrorism".
