"Today Armenia does not intend to send its peacekeepers to Lebanon,"
RA President’s Press Secretary Viktor Soghomonyan said today in a
press conference.
Viktor Soghomonyan noted that Yerevan’s non-participation in the
peacekeeping operation in Lebanon is conditioned by several factors.
"First, the mandate of the peacekeepers has not been fixed so
far. Second, we should consider the interests of the Armenian
community of Lebanon: the possible involvement of our peacekeepers in
any clash can have negative consequences for our compatriots residing
in Lebanon," Viktor Soghomonyan clarified.
