For the time being Armenia will not send peacekeepers to the
Israel-Lebanon conflict area, stated the speaker of president of
Armenia on August 30.
"There are several reasons, I will mention two of them. First of all,
the question of mandate of peacemaking forces is not clear yet.
In other words, the boundaries their actions will be confined to are
not clear yet. And considering that the Armenian military unit cannot
have an important role beside other countries, additional problems
may occur. On the other hand, the Republic of Armenia is worried
about the interests of the large Armenian community in Lebanon,
realizing that the engagement of Armenian peacekeepers in different
clashes may bring about problems for the Armenian community," says
Victor Soghomonyan. According to him, considering this, official
Yerevan decided that the Armenian peacekeepers will not join the
peacekeeping force to the area of conflict between Lebanon and Israel.
