    YEREVAN, JULY 31, ARMENPRESS: The Republic of Armenia intends to
    send Armenian peacekeepers to Lebanon under the UN peacekeeping
    mission during the next year. This was reported to Armenpress by the
    Spokesperson of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Armenia
    Artsrun Hovhannisyan. "At this moment the negotiations are still in
    the process. It is intended to send the Armenian troops to Lebanon
    in 2014", - said Artsrun Hovhannisyan.

    The Defense Ministry of the Republic of Armenia has been discussing
    the issue of including the Armenian peacekeeping detachment in
    the UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon. Currently the negotiations
    on including the Armenian detachment in the United Nations Interim
    Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) are held with the Italian Defense Ministry
    and the UN on the structure of the detachment, location, issues,
    technical supply and other issues.

    Since 2012 one officer of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia
    has been included in the UN observation mission in Lebanon.

    The Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia have been participating
    in the international peacekeeping missions since 2004. Earlier
    they served under the Greek command, but when Greece withdrew its
    contingent from Kosovo, a memorandum of understanding was signed
    with the American party in 2012 on the re-launch of the Armenian
    peacekeepers' mission. Currently the Armenian peacekeepers serve in
    Kosovo in the American unit and in Afghanistan - in the German unit.
