Yerevan/Mediamax/. The U.S. Embassy joined Armenian members of the
Armenian Peace Keeping Brigade at Zvartnots Airport today to send off
116 Armenian peacekeepers who will train alongside American, Romanian
and Ukrainian soldiers in Germany.
The Armenian personnel will train for three weeks and are expected to
return to Armenia on September 4.
In Germany, the Armenian peacekeepers will prepare for their upcoming
tours in Kosovo, where they will be based at the U.S. Bondsteel
Military Base, near the city of Urosevac, and serve for 6-month
rotations.
In Kosovo, the peacekeepers will be responsible for conducting
patrols, checkpoint security, riot and crowd control, and convoy
