/PanARMENIAN.Net/ After the end of the cold war peacekeeping forces
became a very serious and important instrument for maintaining peace in
conflict regions, RA Deputy Foreign Minister Arman Kirakossian stated
in Yerevan. In his words, the U.N. member states came to a conclusion
that it’s extremely hard to counteract conflict without this mechanism.
"Presently the U.N. peacekeeping operations are conducted in 15
hot spots on the globe. Some 90 thousand people are engaged in
them. Peacekeeping operations are one of the priorities of the Armenian
foreign policy. Peacekeepers serve for peace, stability and security,"
Kirakossian underscored.
