    Armenian peacekeepers are the `guardian angels' of Mazar-e-Sharif military base


    Yerevan/Mediamax/. The working visit of Armenian Defense Minister
    Seyran Ohanyan to Afghanistan has come to an end.


    On November 26, Seyran Ohanyan met with ISAF Joint Command at the
    Headquarters of International Security Assistance Force in
    Afghanistan.

    British Lieutenant-General Nick Carter highly assessed Armenia's
    contribution to the establishment of security and stability in
    Afghanistan, expressing his gratitude to Armenian peacekeepers for
    their professionalism and commitment to mission goals.

    Defense Minister of Afghanistan Bismillah Khan Mohammadi received
    Seyran Ohanyan on November 26. At the meeting, the Afghan Defense
    Minister thanked the Armenian leadership and Armenian peacekeepers for
    their contribution to the establishment of stability in Afghanistan.
    He highly assessed the role of Armenian peacekeepers both in the
    preservation of stability in Afghanistan and for their consulting
    support in the establishment of national armed forces.

    On November 27, the Armenian delegation headed by Seyran Ohanyan
    visited Mazar-e-Sharif and Kunduz and met with the Armenian
    peacekeepers and the Command of coalition forces.

    At the military base in Mazar-e-Sharif, Minister Ohanyan met with the
    Commander of ISAF Regional Command-North, German Major-General Erich
    Pfeffer. At the meeting, the German General expressed satisfaction
    with the service of Armenian peacekeepers, noting that their activity
    supports the mission and bolsters the successful implementation of
    tasks set by the Command-North.

    The Armenian delegation also visited the military base near
    Mazar-e-Sharif, where the Armenian contingent of 60 peacekeepers is
    deployed. The Command of the base stated that `Armenian peacekeepers,
    responsible for security, are the guardian angels of the whole staff.'

    The Armenian delegation also visited the military base in Kunduz,
    where the Armenian peacekeeping contingent protects the airport. A
    group of five Armenian instructors is deployed there to support the
    Afghan troops. --0--
