OPPORTUNITY TO SEND PEACEKEEPERS TO LEBANON DISCUSSED IN ARMENIA
- Armenian FM Vartan Oskanian stated in a conversation with journalists that sending peacekeepers to Lebanon is discussed at present and the final decision depends on a number of factors. Armenia got an official invitation. For the final decision we need to clear out the mandate and the deployment location,” Oskanian said. “These missions should not be an end it themselves, but should have a goal. As soon as the latter is made clear, the final decision will be made,” the Minister underscored. He reminded that before the latest Israeli operation Lebanon asked Armenia to send sappers to the country. “ When Israel provides maps of minefields, the situation will be fully controlled. Armenia may take part in the mission in Lebanon in that area,” the Minister said. Oskanian also reported that Armenian community of Lebanon has urged Armenia to send peacekeepers to the country. “We take into account the community opinion and keep in touch with them. However, there are many other factors. I am sure a correct decision will be made finally,” the Minister said, reports Novosti-Armenia.
