More than 100 Armenian soldiers flew to Germany on Wednesday to take part in training and exercises organized by the U.S. military for nations involved in the NATO-led peacekeeping mission in Kosovo.
The Armenian Defense Ministry said the 116 soldiers will train at a U.S. military base in Germany from August 16 through September 4 alongside U.S., Bulgarian, Romanian, Slovenian and Ukrainian troops.
"The purpose of the exercises is to enhance the peacekeeping capacity and interoperability of the armed forces of participating countries," the ministry said in a statement.
A separate statement by the U.S. Embassy in Yerevan said the Armenian contingent, which is part of a special peacekeeping brigade, "will prepare for their upcoming tours in Kosovo."
