Armenia's current contribution to ISAF
is greater than some NATO Allies, UK Ambassador to Armenia, Catherine Leach,
wrote in her blog.
"The first day of the NATO Summit is devoted to
discussion with the 24 countries who have been part of the ISAF force, our most
valued partners. Armenia is one of
these - a CSTO member who, uniquely, has also been committed to peacekeeping
missions in Kosovo and Afghanistan over the past ten years. Armenia's current
contribution to ISAF is greater than some NATO Allies, and is only marginally
less than France's. We want to say thank you", she said and added that
"we want to strengthen the relationship with these most valued partners,
including Armenia, and build on the "interoperability" - the ability
to work together - which we have developed over the past 10 years".
