Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Oganyan said today that peacekeepers
were being temporarily withdrawn from Kosovo, Mediamax reports.

The minister reminded that the troops have been under Greek command.

Financial problems forced a reduction of forces.

An Armenian peacekeeping platoon is still serving as part of the
Greek battalion.

Armenia and Greece signed a memorandum on operations in Kosovo in
Yerevan on 3 September 2003. Armenia ratified the document on 13
December 2003. The first Armenian group consisting of 34 people
arrived in Kosovo on 12 February 2004.
