in talks to that effect with Germany, Armenia's defense minister said
on Tuesday.

say how many servicemen would go to Afghanistan.
He said many of the former members of the Soviet forces that fought
in Afghanistan during the former Soviet Union's war of 1979-1989
in that country wish to join the Armenian peacekeeping force to be
deployed there.
