The Government of Armenia announced about its participation in the international security in 2000, following the principle that in the international sphere our country shouldn’t just be a security consumer, but it should have its stabile input in the process of international security. And in July, 2001, in the UN headquarters, New York, a memorandum about Armenia’s joining the system of peacekeeping activities was signed, and in the same year in our armed forces 12 peacekeeping battalions, which consisted of 3 platoons, were formed. From shift to shift, both in Kosovo and in Iraq, the Armenian peacekeepers developed their knowledge, skills and capabilities, enriched their experience showing their fighting capacities and volitional features, at the same time acquiring a reputation of a reliable partner.
