Armenia is pledging to send a small contingent of troops to Afghanistan
early next year, its first deployment as part of the international
coalition.
The head of the country’s peacekeeping brigade, Col. Artur Simonyan,
said Thursday the troops are expected to be sent in February to
Afghanistan, where they will serve with the German contingent. Also
Thursday, Georgia’s defense minister reiterated a promise to send
some 900 troops to Afghanistan by next spring to take part in NATO
operations there.
