Yerevan /Mediamax/. Armenia tires to expand the geography of its involvement in international peacekeeping operations.

Head of Arms Control and International Security Department of Armenian Foreign Ministry Samvel Mkrtchyan told journalists today that Armenia is trying to be largely involved in the peacekeeping actions under the UN auspices.

He recalled that besides participation in the peacekeeping actions in Afghanistan and Kosovo, Armenia is also considered a participant of UNIFIL peacekeeping actions held in South Lebanon.

“We have had one observer so far, but we are going to send a larger contingent there. I hope as a result of the cooperation with Italy and UN, we will be able to deploy them this autumn”, said the Foreign Ministry representative.
