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.
