Thirty-five Armenian soldiers flew to Kosovo on Friday as Armenia resumed its participation in a NATO-led peacekeeping force deployed in the former Yugoslav province following a five-month hiatus.
The troops boarded a U.S. military transport aircraft at Yerevan's Zvartnots airport after a farewell ceremony attended by senior Defense Ministry officials and U.S. Ambassador John Heffern.
"Armenia's Armed Forces must never have incomplete missions," First Deputy Defense Minister Davit Tonoyan told the departing troops lined up on the airport tarmac. He said their dispatch to Kosovo testifies to the country's "stable contribution" to international security.
