Armenia May Not Send Troops to Iraq

[bemildred]

YEREVAN, Armenia - Armenia's prime minister suggested Friday the Caucasus country might not send troops to Iraq (news - web sites), saying conditions there have changed since they were promised.



Prime Minister Andranik Markarian stressed that it was up to the Constitutional Court and the parliament to make the decision on sending the troops even though Armenia's president pledged the troops during a visit to Poland last month.

The 50 troops Armenia is considering sending — bomb disposal experts, doctors and transport teams — would work under Polish command in Iraq. Poland commands a multinational security force in central Iraq of about 6,000 troops, including more than 2,400 Polish soldiers.

"Let's not forget that ... there have been certain changes from the conditions under which we gave preliminary approval," Makarian said.

It wasn't bad enough when Costa Rica pulled out, but Armenia as well? (shaking and biting fingernails:scared: ). (sarcasm off). So much for the coalition of the absurd.

5. Methinks they have different priorities from Bush in Iraq. . .

such as safeguarding or evacuating the indigenous Christian populations and neighborhoods if things really get bad out there. Right now, Armenians, Chaldeans and Assyrians have refused to take sides in this soon-to-be full-blown civil war out there.

to submit their pledge card.
