YEREVAN, MAY 22, ARMENPRESS: By a vote of 84 to 4 Armenia's National
Assembly (parliament) has endorsed today the government's report
on 2007 state budget performance. The report was voted against by
members of the oppositional Zharangutyun (Heritage) party's faction.
The parliament has also approved today a memorandum on making
changes to a 2003 Armenian-Greek agreement on participation of an
Armenian peacekeeping platoon in Kosovo under the command of the
Greek peacekeeping contingent.
A 34-member Armenian platoon has been in Kosovo since 2004 under the
Greek command. Under the agreement Armenia will increase the number
of its peacekeepers in Kosovo to 70.
Defense Minister Seyran Ohanian told the parliament yesterday that
expansion of Armenia's participation in peacekeeping missions will
not only raise the country's international image but will also boost
higher combat readiness of its armed forces.
