Yerevan, 28 March: The third international military-political
conference on “Military medicine: challenges of the 21st century”
opened in Yerevan today. The conference is organized by the Armenian
Defence Ministry, the European command of the US armed forces, the
information management system of NATO Partnership for Peace Program
and State Medical University’s military-medical faculty.

Armenian Deputy Defence Minister Lt-Gen Artur Agabekyan said that
20 medical officers from eight countries are taking part in the
conference, Mediamax reports. Agabekyan said that the issues which are
being discussed at the conference will be studied by future medical
officers not only from Armenia but from other partner states as well.

Agabekyan pointed out that the conference is not related to an
international rescue exercise which will take place in Armenia in
June within the framework of the “Rescue-2006” programme and which
will also deal with the medical aspect.

The final conference on planning the exercise will be held within
the next few days.
