YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 25, ARMENPRESS: A military cooperation agreement
2014 was signed on September 25 in Yerevan between the Ministry
of Defense of the Republic of Armenia and the Ministry of National
Defense of Greece. As reported by Armenpress, highly evaluating the
Armenian-Greek bilateral military relations, the Chief of the General
Staff of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia Yuri Khachaturov
stated that the relations have a history of many years.
The Chief of the General Staff of the Ministry of National Defense
of Greece, the general Michail Kostarakos noted that it is a great
honor for him to be in Armenia. "For me it was a great honor to be
hosted by the President of the Republic of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan as
well. I will visit today the Tsitsernakaberd Memorial to pay tribute
to the memory of the victims of the Armenian Genocide. My visit proves
the deep routs of the military cooperation between our countries",
- said Michail Kostarakos.
Earlier Armenpress reported that the Defense Ministry of the Republic
of Armenia had been discussing the issue of including the Armenian
peacekeeping detachment in the UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon. The
negotiations on including the Armenian detachment in the United Nations
Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) were held with the Italian Defense
Ministry and the UN on the structure of the detachment, location,
issues, technical supply and other issues. Since 2012 one officer of
the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia has been included in the
UN observation mission in Lebanon.
The Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia have been participating
in the international peacekeeping missions since 2004. Earlier
they served under the Greek command, but when Greece withdrew its
contingent from Kosovo, a memorandum of understanding was signed
with the American party in 2012 on the re-launch of the Armenian
peacekeepers' mission. Currently the Armenian peacekeepers serve in
Kosovo in the American unit and in Afghanistan - in the German unit.
