YEREVAN. – The Armenian military unit, which conducted a peacekeeping mission in Kosovo, will return there. The 35-member peacekeeping platoon will head to Kosovo on Friday.  

In all likelihood, the Armenian unit will serve within the American troops, Armenian Armed Forces Peacekeeping Brigade Commander, Major General Arthur Simonyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.   

To note, the Armenian military unit returned from Kosovo in February of this year because Greece had ended its peacekeeping mission there, and the Armenian platoon was partaking in the mission within the Greek military unit. 

Now, a memorandum of understanding is signed with the American side. 

Major General Simonyan also informed that, just like before, the Armenian peacekeepers will head to Kosovo in six-month shifts. 

The first Armenian peacekeeping platoon was sent to Kosovo in 2004, and, as the Brigadier Commander told, NATO command unit is impressed by the services of Armenian peacekeepers.
