Armenian peacekeepers deployed to Lebanon
YEREVAN. Nov 27
Thirty-two Armenian peacekeepers left for Lebanon on an Italian Air
Force plane late on Wednesday night, the Armenian Defense Ministry
press service told Interfax.
“A unit of the Armenian Armed Forces will operate within an Italian
contingent of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) to
protect a UN military camp,” a press service representative said.
Armenian servicemen joined the international peacekeeping mission in
2004. At present, Armenian peacekeepers are deployed in Afghanistan
and Kosovo.
