▶ Armenian servicemen take part in the opening ceremony of the joint Armenia-U.S. military exercise, dubbed Eagle Partner 2024, Yerevan, Armenia, July 15, 2024.
👉 Armenia launched joint military drills Monday with the United States, a move that reflects its leader's efforts to forge closer ties with the U.S. and other Western allies as the country's relations with old ally Russia sour.
The "Eagle Partner" war games are aimed at increasing interoperability of units participating in international peacekeeping missions, according to Armenia's Defense Minister Suren Papikyan.
They involve Armenian peacekeeping forces, servicemen of the U.S. Army Europe and Africa, and the Kansas National Guard. It wasn't immediately clear how many troops were taking part.
The exercises were scheduled to last through July 24.
