The Government of Armenia announced about its participation in the
international security in 2000, following the principle that in the
international sphere our country shouldn't just be a security consumer,
but it should have its stabile input in the process of international
security. And in July, 2001, in the UN headquarters, New York,
a memorandum about Armenia's joining the system of peacekeeping
activities was signed, and in the same year in our armed forces
12 peacekeeping battalions, which consisted of 3 platoons, were
formed. From shift to shift, both in Kosovo and in Iraq, the Armenian
peacekeepers developed their knowledge, skills and capabilities,
enriched their experience showing their fighting capacities and
volitional features, at the same time acquiring a reputation of a
reliable partner.
And it is not surprising that for showing humanity and high readiness
during their practice they have many times earned the US, Polish
and Greek, as well as the RA MoD command's encouragement and high
appraisals.
The recurrent rewarding ceremony of the peacekeepers took place on
the 22nd of July in the peacekeeping brigade. Among the participants
of this event were the Minister of Defence Seyran Ohanyan, Commander
of the Kansas Natio nal Guard, Major-General Tod M. Bunting, the US
ambassador in Armenia Marie Yovanovitch, the ambassador of Poland in
Armenia Tomash Knothen, high rank servicemen and others.
Greeting and congratulating the staff of the brigade, Seyran
Ohanyan stated, that the awards given by the Armenian, US and Polish
governments prove that our militants have accomplished their issues
with high responsibility and diligently while realizing international
missions. "The Armenian peacekeepers are unique in doing their duties,
they demonstrate devotion and professionalism", - this is how Tod
Bunting described our team in his speech. While talking to journalists,
Seyran Ohanyan told that when he was in Kosovo a representative of
the US command told that he wished he had soldiers like the Armenian
peacekeepers under his command.
