Armenia will dispatch a 50-member military contingent, comprising
doctors, field engineers and drivers, to Iraq in February 2005,
according to the Armenian press reports.
The Armenian officers will serve within the Polish military contingent
120-140 kilometers south to Baghdad. The issue on sending military
contingent to Iraq was discussed at the Armenian parliament in November
on the initiative of President Robert Kocharian, the reports said.
Meanwhile, Polish Defense Minister Jerzy Szmajdziñski told Reuters
that Poland will reduce its military contingent in Iraq from 2,500 to
1,700 servicemen following the elections to be held in this country
in February 2005.
Foreign media reported earlier that Poland intends to withdraw its
military contingent from Iraq by the end of next year.*
