Armenia may join International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) mission in Afghanistan in February 2010, said Erik Sandahl of the NATO Headquarters Crisis Management and Operations Directorate.

For his part, Armenia's Ambassador to NATO Samvel Mkrtchyan said that the number of Armenian servicemen has not been determined yet. "Armenian troops will not take part in military operations but will ensure security of Kunduz airport," he said.
