    Armenia intends to increase the number of its peacekeepers in Kosovo
    from 34 to 70 in June of the current year, RA Defense Minister Seyran
    Ohanyan declared at the National Assembly today.

    "The mission carried out by Armenian peacekeepers in Kosovo received
    high appreciation from the international command during the past
    years," Seyran Ohanyan declared. The Minister noted that the increase
    of the number of Armenian peacekeepers derives from military and
    military-political considerations. Seyran Ohanyan noted that despite
    the fact that some countries, particularly Azerbaijan, refused from
    peacekeeping mission after Kosovo's independence, it will not lead
    to any change of the status of peacekeeping forces in Kosovo.

    The Defense Minister told reporters that there are no concrete
    arrangements on sending Armenian peacekeepers to Afghanistan. In his
    words, the Armenian authorities have not made the final decision on
    the issue.
