Foreign Policy: Armenia's input to Afghanistan's security maintenance important

PanARMENIAN.Net - In his report published in Foreign Policy magazine,
Commanding General of the U.S. Army Europe, Lieutenant General Mark P.
Hertling stressed Armenia's role in maintenance of security in
Afghanistan.
`The fact that Armenia created brigade-sized peacekeeping and
NATO-compatible units is an extremely positive development. These
units, which are specifically non-aligned with operations in Nagorno
Karabakh conflict, are largely manned by professional soldiers, not
conscripts, and are led by English-speaking, western-trained officers.
At a glance during my visit, they also appear better trained than line
forces occupying positions along the Karabakh line-of-contact.
With America's continued support, the Caucuses will remain a source of
stable, reliable, interoperable partners who are the foundation of
future regional and global security,' the report reads.
