ArmInfo. In the framework of preparation for participation in international peacekeeping missions the Armenia-U.S. joint exercise "EAGLE PARTNER 2023" will be held from 11 to 20 September in Armenian, particularly in "Zar" Training Center of the Peacekeeping Brigade and the N Training Center of the MoD, the press service of Armenia's Ministry of Defense reports.
The exercise involves stabilization tasks between conflicting parties during peacekeeping mission. The purpose of the exercise is to increase the level of interoperability of the unit participating in international peacekeeping missions within the framework of peacekeeping operations, to exchange best practices in control and tactical communication, as well as to increase the readiness of the Armenian unit for the planned NATO/PfP "Operational Capabilities Concept" evaluation. Within the framework of preparation for peacekeeping missions, units preparing for international peacekeeping operations frequently participate in similar joint exercises and trainings in partner countries."
Earlier Yerevan has repeatedly officially refused to conduct exercises within the framework of the Collective Security Treaty Organization, in whose security system the republic is currently located. In particular, on January 10 of this year, Yerevan refused to hold the "Indestructible Brotherhood 2023" exercise on its territory. A similar refusal followed in June of this year, when it was planned to hold exercises of the CSTO countries to eliminate an accident at a nuclear facility. All these actions characterize the republic's complex relations with the CSTO, which in Yerevan is directly accused of failing to fulfill its obligations, including the protection of the territorial integrity of the state.
