Participation in UN  peacekeeping operations is an important contribution to the  maintenance of international peace and security, in the context of  which Armenian peacekeepers have been deployed at various times as  part of the UN Interim Force in Lebanon and the Multinational  Stabilization Mission in Mali.

Working jointly with the Permanent Mission of the Republic of Armenia  to the UN and effectively interacting with numerous structures and  divisions of the organization, as well as participating in open  discussions, the Military Attache has the opportunity to present  Armenia's military, military-political priorities and approaches in  the context of maintaining international peace and security>, - noted  the RA Defense Ministry.

The RA MoD, within the scope of its authority, organizes cooperation  of the Republic of Armenia with foreign states and international  organizations in the military and military-political spheres.

The military attache to international organizations, acting within  the framework of the authority established by law, coordinates  cooperation with international organizations in the military and  defense spheres, represents the RA MoD and the armed forces, and  carries out representative work, which includes establishing and  deepening official ties with various UN departments and structures,  developing relations in the military sphere, monitoring the  implementation of cooperation programs, and assisting in organizing  visits of delegations of the Ministry and the armed forces. Upon the  instruction of the Ministry of Defense and through the mediation of  the leadership of the MFA, the military attache may carry out  supervisory functions in the manner prescribed by international law.
