Armenia will again send peacekeeping troops to Kosovo this month in line with an agreement reached with the United States, Defense Minister Seyran Ohanian said in a newspaper interview published on Monday.
Ohanian told the Armenian Defense Ministry's "Hay Zinvor" newspaper that the agreement was signed during his visit to Washington last March. He said Armenian soldiers will serve in Kosovo under U.S. command. He did not specify the size of the contingent.
Armenia ended its participation in NATO's peacekeeping mission in the former Yugoslav region early this year. Ohanian said at the time that a 35-strong platoon of the Armenian Armed Forces returned home because of an ongoing reduction in the size of NATO's Kosovo Force (KFOR) reflecting improved security conditions in the newly independent state.
