The senior Officer staff of the Armed Forces of the Republic of
Armenia headed by Major General Arshaluys Paytyan welcomed the 8th
shift of Aremnain peacekeepers carrying out mission in Iraq.

The Armenian peacekeepers carried out their mission within the Polish
division. The 8th shift left for Iraq at the end of July and had to
return in December. However, Arshaluys Paytyan told reporters that
the necessity of peacekeeping activity in Iraq is gradually reducing,
and the real political situation in the country is currently controlled
by the political structures of the country.

"During the peacekeeping activity Armenia had only one injured soldier.

Our peacekeepers effectively carried out the task posed to them and our
greatest success is that we did all that without losses and victims,"
Arshaluys Paytyan said.
