Parliament Paves Way For Armenian Deployment In Iraq

[24.12.2004]

The Armenian parliament voted late Friday by 91 to 23, with one abstention, to
permit President Robert Kocharian to send a small military contingent to Iraq,
ignoring apparent popular opposition to the move.

The decision, taken behind the closed doors, clears the way for the dispatch of
some 50 army doctors, demining experts and truck drivers to an area in south
central Iraq controlled by a Polish-led multinational division. The deployment,
which could begin as early as next month, will mark another milestone in
Armenia’s unfolding military cooperation with the United States.
