Next week Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan will be hosted at the
National Assembly to present the two agreements under which the
Armenian servicemen undertake to assist the United States and carry
out peacekeeping mission in Afghanistan.

"Armenia’s participation in the peacekeeping operation in Afghanistan
has been agreed upon with the Collective Security Treaty Organization.

Therefore, no problems will arise," DM Seyran Ohanyan said during
today’s hearings at the NA Standing Committee on Foreign Relations.

According to Seyran Ohanyan, as a result of the negotiations that
lasted 1.5 years, it has been decided that Armenian peacekeepers will
carry out mission in Azerbaijan under the German commandership and
will be located 500-550 km away from Kabul..
