    Armenia to Join Polish-led Troops in Iraq

    Baku Today, Azerbaijan
    Sept 7 2004

    Armenian military officials say their country will send 50 troops to
    Iraq to join a Polish-led multinational force patrolling the country's
    central and southern regions.

    The troops will be deployed under a security cooperation agreement
    signed Monday in Warsaw by visiting Armenian President Robert Kocharian
    and Polish President Aleksander Kwasniewski. Poland's defense minister
    Jerzy Szmajdzinski says Armenia is planning to send specialists in
    logistics, bomb disposal experts and doctors in late November or
    early December.

    Poland commands a 6,500-strong multinational contingent in Iraq. It
    has been one of Washington's staunchest allies, providing 2,500 of
    its own soldiers for the force.

    The French news agency reports that both presidents, at a joint news
    conference, expressed their sadness and solidarity with Russia over
    the school hostage tragedy.

    Some information for this report provided by AP, Reuters.
