Yerevan, 8 June: The Armenian National Assembly today ratified the
Armenian-Kuwaiti interstate agreement on the status of Armenian armed
forces in Kuwait signed on 15 February 2004.
The chairman of the parliamentary commission on defence, national
security and internal affairs, Mger Shakhgeldyan, said in an interview
with Mediamax news agency that this document outlines conditions for
Armenian servicemen's presence in Kuwait before being dispatched to
Iraq to participate in the post-war rehabilitation of this country.
Armenian ambassador to the USA Arman Kirakosyan said in an exclusive
interview with Mediamax news agency in April this year that "the
United States and Armenia are holding intensive consultations on
sending Armenian military specialists to Iraq".
The ambassador recalled that the Armenian side was intending to send
to Iraq a limited contingent of non-combat military specialists to
render assistance in the post-war restoration of the country.
