Armenian military servicemen will start participating in the NATO
(North Atlantic Treaty Organization) mission in Afghanistan from the
beginning of 2010, said NATO Secretary General’s Special Representative
to the South Caucasus Robert Simmons.

In early 2010, 30 Armenian soldiers will be sent to Afghanistan as
part of the peacekeeping mission, Simmons told a press conference
in Yerevan on Friday. Armenia is now taking part in the discussions
concerning future operations in Afghanistan, he said.

Currently, Armenian peacekeepers are serving their mission in Kosovo
and Iraq.
