    NATO SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVE STRESSES THE IMPORTANCE OF ARMENIA'S PARTICIPATION IN THE ISAF MISSION

    Yerevan/Mediamax/. NATO Special Representative for the South Caucasus
    and Central Asia James Appathurai stressed the importance of Armenia's
    participation in the ISAF mission in Afghanistan.

    "Your military servicemen are located in regions of Afghanistan where
    the situation is rather uneasy", said James Appathurai speaking at
    the videoconference organized by Information Center on NATO in Armenia
    for the students of YSU Center for European Studies today.

    The NATO official especially underlined the fact that the Armenian
    side takes part in the process of forming Afghanistan's Armed Forces
    by providing military instructors.

    The Armenian peacekeeping contingent consisting of 81 people has
    arrived in Mazâr-earif this June.

    On May 11, 2011, Armenian National Assembly approved the decision on
    expanding the Armenian contingent participating in ISAF.

    Armenian First Deputy Defense Minister David Tonoyan said in the
    interview to Mediamax in May that one additional company minus,
    with 81 people, will be deployed in the headquarters of the Regional
    Command North, which is located in Mazâr-earif.

    "This company will be responsible for providing security of military
    compound and Mazâr-earif Airport. At the same time, 5 Armenian
    instructor officers will be located in the infantry battalion of the
    Afghan Army in the town of Tolukan, where they will conduct personnel
    training," David Tonoyan said then.
