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.
