Yerevan is gong to broaden participation in the peacekeeping operation
in Kosovo and to send several military doctors and officers to
Afghanistan as well. Major General Mikael Melkonyan, director of the
department of international military cooperation and defense programs
of the Defense Ministry of Armenia, announced this.
Melkonyan also reported that according to the plan, IPAP of Armenia
and NATO adoption of the military doctrine was scheduled for the
end of 2008. "However, with regard to a number of IPAP components,
we outrun the schedule by a few steps and I think that the doctrine
will be adopted at the end of 2007."
