/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Presently Armenia is not going to sent peacekeepers
in the Lebanon-Israel conflict zone, RA President’s Spokesman Victor
Soghomonyan said. `Armenia is not going to sent a peacekeeping
contingent to the conflict zone; moreover the U.N. has not determined
the mandate of the peacekeeping forces yet,’ he
underscored. Soghomonyan also said that taking into account the small
number the Armenian peacekeepers, they cannot play a decisive role in
the conflict settlement.

`At that same time when considering the possibility of sending
peacekeepers to the conflict zone the republic leadership cannot
overlook the interests of the Armenian community of
Lebanon. Involvement of Armenian peacekeepers in any opposition can
cause problems for the Armenians living in Lebanon,’ the RA
President’s Spokesman said, reported newsarmenia.ru.
