ARMENIAN PEACEKEEPERS IN IRAQ GOT OFFICIAL THANKS FROM
POLISH DIVISION
YEREVAN, MAY 24. ARMINFO. The Armenian peacekeepers in Iraq have
received an official message of thanks from the command of the Polish
Division in that country, Deputy Defence Minister of Armenia Artur
Aghabekyan says in an interview to Hayots Ashkharh.
He says that the Armenian peacekeepers could not start their
activities immediately after arriving in Iraq because of having no
necessary field engineering equipment. Quite recently they got one
and began fulfilling specific tasks. Aghabekyan says that the
Armenian peacekeepers especially the field engineers are quite
experienced - they worked for a long time in Sunik and Tavush regions
of Armenia.
The drivers are also very busy. In June they will be replaced by
other drivers, says Aghabekyan.
To remind, 46 Armenian peacekeepers - 30 field engineers, 3 doctors,
10 drivers and officers went to Kuwait and then to Al Illah 120 km
south of Baghdad to keep peace as part of the Polish Division in
Iraq.
