/PanARMENIAN.Net/ G. Sahakian, the head of the Republican Party
of Armenia forming the ruling coalition, stated during today's
press conference that not only he, but also all Armenian people
are against sending Armenian servicemen to Iraq. Representatives of
Justice and National Unity opposition blocs were also against the
sending while members of Dashnaktsutyun and Orinats Yerkir factions
refrained from expressing their opinion. To remind, on September 6,
2004 Armenian and Polish Presidents Robert Kocharian and Alexander
Kwasniewski signed an agreement on security cooperation according to
which Armenian contingent consisting of 50 medical officers, combat
engineers and drivers are to be sent to Iraq early next year to
join the coalition forced under the Polish command. Both Armenia and
Diaspora are seriously concerned over the issue since this measure
can jeopardize the security of the Armenian communities numbering
many thousands of people in Iraq and other Islamic counties.
