The solemn farewell ceremony for the 7th shift of Armenian peacekeepers
in Kosovo was held today at the Municipal Regiment of Yerevan. The
34-member shift will leave for Kosovo on May 24.
RA Defense Minister Michael Harutyunyan noted in his greeting speech
that the most important is that we are holding the ceremony of seeing
off our peacekeepers to Kosovo with great pride, since we already
have our contribution to assuring international security.
"Armenian peacekeepers in both Kosovo and Iraq have attained the fame
of reliable partners, and with this we are creating firm bases for the
further development of our peacekeeping forces. The brilliant service
of Armenian peacekeepers raises the prestige of our country and armed
forces among the international military circles," the Minister said.
Michael Harutyunyan thanked the Command of the Armed Forces of Hungary
for comprehensive support, which helps assure the effective and secure
service of the Armenian detachment.
The 6th shift, which had left for Kosovo on November 14, will return
to motherland tomorrow.
During the ceremony 52 servicemen of the peacekeeping detachment were
decorated with the orders of Andranik Ozanyan and Vazgen Sargsyan
and diplomas.
