LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR PARTICIPATION OF ARMENIAN MILITARY IN REHABILITATION OF IRAQ BEING FORMED

At its sitting the Armenian Government approved the decision of the Defense Ministry to join the Memorandum on command and settlement of questions of activities of the multinational division as part of the coalition forces of Iraq. It should be reminded that earlier the Armenian Parliament ratified the Armenian-Kuwaiti agreement, determining the order of presence of Armenian military in Kuwait, from where they will be sent to Iraq to participate in the post-war rehabilitation of the country. As reported by Defense Ministry senior representatives, the sending of tens of Armenian military specialists to Iraq is planned before this autumn. These will be medical officers, sappers and drivers with lorries to organize transportation.
