A new contingent of 34 Armenian peacekeepers under the command of
Senior Lt Ruben Papyan left for Kosovo today.
Eighteen of the 34 peacekeepers who left for Kosovo today are
participating in the mission for the second time. They implemented
their peacekeeping mission as part of the platoon which served in
Kosovo from February 2004, Armenian Deputy Defence Minister Lt-Gen
Artur Agabekyan told a news conference today.
Some of the peacekeepers who have been to Kosovo are preparing to go
to Iraq, the deputy defence minister said.
Expanding on the subject of Iraq, he noted that the leadership of the
Armenian Defence Ministry is maintaining constant contact with the
Armenian contingent of 46 people (doctors, sappers, signallers and
drivers) who are implementing their peacekeeping duty in that country.
The deputy defence minister spoke in detail about the work of the
Armenian military doctors saying that they are working in an army
hospital and rendering the necessary medical assistance both to the
local population and to peacekeepers serving in Iraq.
To recap, the second group of Armenian servicemen who had served in
Kosovo since 8 September 2004 returned to Yerevan last night.
