Armenia does not intend to withdraw its peacekeepers from Kosovo.

Axar.az reports according to Armenian media, in a recent interview with the Public Television of Armenia, Pashinyan stated that the Armenian army has no tasks to carry out outside the internationally recognized territory of Armenia. Speaking in the National Assembly on April 15, Pashinyan repeated this statement, noting that the Armenian army has no and will not have any tasks outside the sovereign and internationally recognized territory of Armenia.

In connection with the premier's first statement, a query was sent to the MFA of Armenia, asking what tasks the Armenian peacekeepers are carrying out in Kosovo, and whether Armenia—taking into account Pashinyan's statement—plans to withdraw its peacekeepers from Kosovo.

The MFA responded that the mission of international peacekeeping forces is to ensure peace, Armenia is committed to the peace agenda, and this commitment applies not only to the South Caucasus, but also to the world community.

“By participating in the peacekeeping mission in Kosovo, the Republic of Armenia is contributing to international efforts aimed at easing tension and establishing stability in the Balkan region,” the Armenian MFA added.

It should be recalled that Armenia’s peacekeeping contingent is part of the KFOR (Kosovo Force), established under UN Security Council Resolution 1244.
