peacekeepers is set to leave the country for Germany on Wednesday
and then to Afghanistan, a Defense Ministry spokesperson told Tert.am.
"Usually, for 20 days the troops remain in Germany where they are
trained. And only after that will the group go to Afghanistan to
replace the Armenian troops dislodged in Kunduz (province)," said
Davit Karapetyan.
The Armenian troops currently on mission in Afghanistan will complete
it and return to Armenia in February.
Davit Karapetyan also said that number of the troops to be sent on
a peacekeeping mission depends on necessity.
Only contractors serving in peacekeepers qualify for the peacekeeping
mission abroad, he added.
