“Decision on Armenia’s participation in the peacekeeping mission in Lebanon has to be taken in coordination with geopolitical partners,” chairman of opposition party The Constitutional Right Union, Armenian parliament member Hrant Hachatryan at a press conference on Sep 9. The oppositionist, however, did not specify Armenia’s geopolitical partners in this issue, REGNUM correspondent reports.
“When Armenia first took decision to participate in a peacekeeping mission at a state level, I pointed to the problems that we were consequently to face. Participating in peacekeeping operations is an important part of geopolitical technologies. By plugging into the system, Armenian authorities have taken up a serious responsibility,” Khachatryan stated.
He says he does not rule out the possibility of Armenia’s sending her peacekeepers to Lebanon. “In each particular case, an individual decision has to be taken on the issue,” he remarked.
Armenian peacekeepers joined in 2004 the peacekeeping mission in Kosovo as a part of a Greek battalion. From January 2005, Armenian servicemen have been a part of a Polish peacekeeping division in Iraq.
