Yesterday a group of Armenian peacemakers, consisting of 46 doctors,
field engineers and drivers, returned to Yerevan from Iraq.

The Armenian peacemakers are deployed in with the division from
Poland. The group left for Iraq in July 2008 and was supposed to
return in December, but the situation is calming down in Iraq and less
and less peacemakers are required there, said in a briefing General
Arshaluys Paytian. She also said that Armenian peacemakers can be sent
to Afghanistan if required and if the Armenian Government decides so.

Armenpress reports that the Armenian peacemakers, who returned from
Iraq may reinforce the Armenian peacemaking troops in Kosovo.
