Defense Minister Seyran Ohanian highly appreciated the skill level of the Armenian peacekeepers. As Seiran Ohanyan mentioned at today's award ceremony of the Armenian peacekeepers in Yerevan, last year the representatives of the American command in Kosovo said that they would dream of having such soldiers as Armenian peacekeeping brigade had.

Responding to journalists' questions about sending of the Armenian peacekeeping contingent to Afghanistan, the minister of defense said that Armenia is negotiating with the Ministry of Defense of Germany on this occasion. Seyran Ohanian also mentioned that the Armenian army has personnel ready to fulfill this mission.
